[|Human|] I have had problems for the last few months with swelling and pain when I move in my right knee. A doctor told me that it looked like arthritis in the knee. Yesterday, all of the sudden I had great pain while walking and when I got home, I noticed that there was a protrusion on the outside of my knee like a lump which was hard. The lump itself is not painful, but my leg aches and it is still very painful when I bend my knee. What I am wondering is this just another aspect of the arthritis, or should I have my knee looked at. Thank you for your advice Kathy
