Hello, Sorry, no help, but is it a soft lump or a hard one? Unless you are sure I'd take it to my gp, if it's still there tomorrow. I know my Mum had a swelling like a cyst, when she had bursitis of the knee.

Hi daimler
Is it painful?
best anyway to see your doc about this... the sooner you get it seen to.. the sooner you'll know what's causing it and also get some treatment and pain relief.
I recently had both knees drained of excess fluid and injected with steroids... both knees were very swollen and painful and had what I can only describe as 'pockets' of fluid around them.
hope you get it sorted out soon.

Don't know if they are the same as mine.
I experience x2 different types of floating lumps.
One of them I get on my neck and I picture it like a pea in a bag of soft jelly that I can almost ping about my neck.
The other type I get on my knees and elbows - various sizes and become rather hot and squishy.
Let us know what the doc says.

Yes I've got one on my left knee
It developed after a bad fall, when the huge bursa finally disappeared i was left with a lump that moved around and when knocked is excruciatingly painful. Initially the GP thought it was a chipped kneecap but x-rays showed it wasn't.
I am currently waiting for my referral to orthopaedics for further investigation.
Hope you get yours sorted

My Mums was of the knee after a fall and I got the blame because I let the rabbit out and she fell over the fence chasing it!!! :oops: She had the bursa removed, but this is years ago, when i was little, so treatment will have moved on and even then it was'nt a big op and she came straight home the next day! :oops: I wan't flavour of the month!! :oops: LOve Sue0
