Lump on outer side of knee

I have a mini golf ball sized lump on the outer right portion of my leg above the knee . It swells when I stand for too long or do strenuous activities. It goes away once I stretch my leg or lay down and elevate it. I'm starting to bruise easily on my upper thighs and have spider veins around the lump and some on my thighs
