Hard lump just below right knee Hard lump just below right knee. Posted over a year ago. I was exercising yesterday and went to kneel down on a bench and it caused a slight pain, more a discomfort in my right knee when I kneeled on it. Never had this before but when I checked I noticed a hard lump that feels like bone just below my knee, top end of my shin. It's more or less painless apart from when I kneel directly on it or press it really hard and even then the pain is minimal.
