I really really need help, if anyone can help...

I have a bone tumor in my left knee, its on the side. My problem is for the last years its "grown" and caused the worst pain Ive ever been in and really messed up alot of stuff, I couldnt horseback ride for a while cause of the winter, I tried it with my knee and it hurt so bad! After I went to physical therapy (PT) and it helped some. I tried riding again, it hurt less but in a 1hr lesson, half way through my knee gives out cause of the pressure from my leg to the saddle pushes on my hamstring, pushing on the tumor making it be to stressed... it gives out. I really couldnt ride at all and especially safely... So I havent been in a long time, riding was really a big part of my life. I was getting ready to do show jumping too... I wanna get into riding so badly, I need help! I need some way to protect my hamstring so the pressure doesnt make my knee give out. My whole leg at and below my knee gives out. Im out of ideas or anything on what to do. I have tall boots, they are leather and not thin but they are sturdy but dont help which is a big just failure it feels. Please, if anything I need it to help! I cant have surgery on it or anything...

Its gotta do with its location, size and probably would make things worse.

I know it's so darn late of an answer but did you have radiation? Chemo?

would a knee replacement hep?

I hear they can transplant arms from donors now, if its not too much different, why not a knee transplant from a donor.
