Hello,
I've had discomfort in my knee for seven months. I recently had an MRI done and was told there is a swollen lymph node ("probably a lymph node") above my knee. An image of the node can be viewed here:

(I call the node 'the egg')

I can get around fine but exercising is a problem. I'd really like to get back into biking/running bad but am not sure what to do. Here are some facts:

1. It's been a problem for 7 months.
2. MRI shows a node of some sort above knee
3. Dr. thinks this is not a problem and is not a cause of pain for me
4. I've had cartilage surgery in that knee before ( 9 years ago )
5. I'd very much like to address the issue but am being told to just stand pat
for 4 months then do another MRI to see what it look like then.


Any comments / suggestions are very much welcome!
