Im afraid I do (but you may not want to read my story as I’m getting a scope to remove it!). But mine is firm and crackly/snappy feeling during simple walking, and pops out when I bend and is clearly getting squished in the joint line below the kneecap.
I think “squishy” is a good sign that it is just swelling and you may want to do some ice, compression, elevation and back off on the stairs until it gets better. Working an inflamed knee is what can lead to that inflammation turning into scar tissue. Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to not re-irritate the area (why I need that tissue removed), and my lump keeps growing.
