[|Human|] My right knee has a hard movable bump on the right side. I skateboard a lot and for sure its from falling on it multiple times. Ive had it for a long time and it doesnt hurt. Also it sometimes swells up and ice it and wear my knee brace. What my question is I guess, will the bump eventually disapate without surgery?
[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, The hard movable lump on the knee has to be investigated to know its site of origin. Repeated trauma can be the cause of the lump formation. The lump could be inflammatory due to repeated trauma to bone and soft tissue or could be neoplastic arising from soft tissue or bony tissue. I suggest you to consult an orthopedic for CT scan or MRI of the joint. Imaging will determine the site of origin extent of the lesion. Further aspiration cytology or biopsy may be required for exact characterization of the lesion. Management will be planned after the result of investigations is obtained. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
