[|Human|] Hi , I have a lump on the top left side of my knee where the muscles connect into the knee, i hurt my knee 7 years ago in a softball tourney (hyperextended) and it swelled big but I never went to the docs after all this time my knee is very stiff when bent and hurts when I run on it.   Please advise.   thanks
[|AI|]  Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. As it is a chronic problem of yours due to an old injury, I would advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon in your area for a clinical examination and also possibly for an MRI of the affected knee to have a proper diagnosis and appropriate management. Till then, you could go for an anti-inflammatory along with a proton pump inhibitor for a symptomatic relief. I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
