Knee problems?

My left vastus medialis is like a hard bone but my left one is soft. I have had this my whole life. No pain and normal when sitting down.

May be an underlying osteochondroma benign bone tumor.Get a x-ray to clarify.
Hello. Most common reason is an Osteochondroma which is a benign tumor, myositis ossificans which is calcification within the muscle and sometimes just abnormal bone. Probably should at least have it looked at with Xray. Probably nothing to worry about unless some pain or appears to be getting more prominent. Good luck.
