A couple years ago I twisted my knee, and
there was so much pain that I was limping
while walking. At the time I wasn't
anywhere near my home so I could not get a
brace on. When I finally did, the pain
became worse. Tried taking things slow but
that didn't help... and I noticed a growth
or bump on the left side of my left
knee... when I put my hand on my left knee
I can feel it grinding, where-as my right
knee is as smooth as ever.
Can anyone tell me what the medical term
is for the hard growth on my knee? I had
read somewhere (although I'm not sure
where) that it was caused by the two leg
bones rubbing on eachother harder than
normal, which caused a bone growth, that
consequently could lead to nerve damage if
it hit the nerve that runs along the side
of the leg????
