Medical status: Knee

For some reason, possibly but mayhaps not entirely due to a stretched thigh, I´ve had problems with my left knee the last couple of years. It's as if a sinew rubs against the bone or some other structure, causing a sense of uneasiness when I move in/to certain positions. This uneasiness, altho not too brutal, causes me to walk a bit impaired since I make corrections to my gait so as to not feel the uncomfortable sensation of sinews moving in there. Thus, more or less, I've been walking as if my left leg is stiff.

Sub par, dear diary, sub par.

For a long time, I've always thought the sinew to be too taut, and that stretching would get it back into shape. It has sort of worked, as well, the tautness coming and going over the months. However, a couple of weeks a go, I discovered some sort of lump just under the skin, clearly being an obstruction to any sinews wanting to pass.

Yes, a lump! .... omg! ...

Having ruled out cancer, mostly just for trying the non-fatal approach for a change (all of my previous cancers turned out not to be cancers), I dug the net for a diagnosis.

Top candidate so far: Baker's Cyst.
