I have had this lump located below my knee on the right leg for a few weeks. It keeps getting bigger. It does not hurt and is hard to the touch. It is about 4 inches wide and 3 inches long. I made an appointment last week and will not be seen until Monday...does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks...Erica

Can't diagnose, but it's probably a cyst. But you don't have long to wait before seeing the doctor, so if it's not bothering you, try not to worry about it.

i understand the anxiety that condition can start. i sure hope its not anything disturbing. meanwhile, here a site on the body's own immune system being able to prevent diseases at any stage, depending on the immune systems health, or the body's own ability to recover from such diseases as those we dread we might have.
