I play a lot of soccer and last may I went in for a tackle and hurt my knee at first the pain seem to be inside the knee and I couldn't bend my leg I didn't go to the docs because I thought it would get better on its own which it has to a certain extent I can bend it now but I've just started playing soccer again but I still end up in quite a lot of pain. The pain inside the leghas gone but there seems to be a hard lump on the knee now sticking out like a bone. I've checked my other knee to see if there is the same lump but there isn't. Any ideas! Ta!

hi I have that to I really don't know what it is but I went to see my doctor he said he didn't no either I was sent to the hospital for an x-ray and on Tuesday I'm seeing a special bone doctor . I do ballet so I was thinking that may be why. I've had it since August so I no this was sent quite a bit ago but just thought it might be worth knowing.

Hi, I believe you have what I have had. I have had this lump for about 5 years, I went to a physiotherapist after I noticed there was something not right, and was told that I have torn the tendons at my knee cap, and my body has in response, grown more bone. I was told that it would be tender until I stop growing. Im 21 now and it is absolutely fine.:D
