From the photos and your history this looks most consistent with a localized soft-tissue swelling around the knee commonly due to prepatellar bursitis mild synovial thickening, or muscleâtendon strain triggered by repetitive movements like surya Namaskara and recent trekking. the absence of pain, redness, or limitation suggests it is not serious at this stage reduce knee load for 1â2 weeks, avoid deep knee bends, trekking, and floor sitting, and apply ice for 10â15 minutes twice daily. You may use a knee cap during activity and do gentle quadriceps and hamstring stretching only. If the bulge increases, becomes painful, or persists beyond 2â3 weeks, a knee ultrasound or MRI and orthopedic review would be advisable.
