[|Human|] Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have a lump right below my knee. It is very painful when I walk and when I am not walking. I went to the Dr. and he said I have Lipoma. He prescribed an anti-inflamm atory. He did not give me a pain killer or do an MRI. I have been on the anti-inflammatory pills for several day with no relief Any suggestions
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted your history of your Doctor saying this painful lump below the knee to be lipoma and the pain is persistent in spite of the anti-inflammatory medicines. This indicates that this is not a lipoma. I would advise you the following:Get an MRI of the knee done.FNAC is the best tool to find the real diagnosis. Consult another Doctor or preferably an Orthopedic Surgeon so that the diagnosis and treatment can be done. The most probable causes can be:SynovitisSeptic arthritis. Some other infected cyst or a tumor. Once diagnosed, treatment can be conducted accordingly. Till then give complete rest to the knee joint. Get tests of blood including that of ESR, WBC, RA factor and so on.
