What causes tightness and lump like feeling behind the knee?
Patient: in back of my leg behind the knee very tight almost the feeling of an internal lump that inhibits me when im kneeling to sit with my legss bent under me without discomfort walking standing ok but i can feel the tightness i stretch but doesnt really help Doctor: Hi,  We have to rule out conditions like bursitis.  As the first line management, you can take analgesics like Aceclofenac or Tramadol for pain relief.  If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an MRI scan.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain,  General & Family Physician
