My husband  is 73 years old and he has developed knots the size of half dollar's on his lower shins. Is this anything to worry about. He is a borderline diabetic and is on blood pressure medication?

They sound like Ganglion cysts.  They usually will subside on their on.  

How long has he had them?  

I doubt if this is r/t his Diabetes or high blood pressure.

Definitely should have these checked/assessed.
