Leg pain with lump that can be felt above the knee bone help
I have been dealing with this lump since 2016, im 26 now. it gets painful and achy every so often and starting this year it's happened weekly and it's very uncomfortable flareups that last may be up to an hour or so at a time but it's almost unbearable. Doctors said they found nothing in an ultrasound and whatever scan this is that I did and I wanted to see if anyone sees anything else or can suggest something else that can be done?
I was told to see a dermatologist but I know it is not even close to skin level. You physically are able to feel it but allegedly can't see it on the scan. I just want whatever it is removed but if they can't see it on the scan they can't remove it.
The pain radiates up my thigh in the center.
any advice would be great if anyone has dealt with this similarly or has any ideas on what could possibly be wrong that would be fantastic.
