Common Questions and Answers about Lump on elbow joint

lump

Avatar n tn Around the beginning of Summer, I noticed some type of lump/swelling on my inner elbow, right above the crease on the side closest to my body with palm facing up. My doctor said that it must be a hematoma and that I might have bumped it without noticing. After a several months, the swelling decreased and nearly disappeared, but it has recently come back. There is no discoloration and no lump can be felt beneath the skin when my arm is bent.
Avatar m tn Why they come back is due to various things such as, a break in the skin, shaving, insect bites, leaning on the elbow etc. When you heal from a wound it does sometimes hurts after and that may be all it is. It can also be due to scarring. But it could still be possibly an abscess. I can only say if you don't trust your doctor to get another opinion and see what they say. If it was active I would think it would be growing and you would get a fever.
Avatar f tn My husband has had tendinitis for quite some time. It comes and goes. I have also had tendinitis that comes and goes away on it's own. My husband now has a lump on his elbow about the size of a marble, maybe a tiny bit bigger than a marble. I never heard of a lump forming due to tendinitis - would this be normal? The lump is hard and painful to him when I tried feeling the lump. I told him several times to call the doctor, but he thinks it's just tendinitis.
Avatar f tn The pain seems to be all around the elbow joint and in the muscles both in my forearm and tricep areas. I am going to go for physio but any ideas what i could have done because its so sore.
Avatar f tn Do they grow on the base of the thumb? I have a lump that is hard (and hurts if I press on it) and about the size of a small pea, that was not there in September. In under 2 months this lump grew, and I want to know if it could it be a bone spur, or a rheumatoid nodule. (I have "diffuse osteoarthritis" in my joints and spine) and I am only 58. Does osteoarthritis manifest like this? Are there different types of osteoarthritis, or is there a kind that is systemic?
Avatar f tn I fell about 6 weeks ago, landing full weight on left elbow. I had immediate bruising, swelling, and pain in elbow area (funny bone). I also have weakness in left hand, dropping items all the time. I did not go to the doctor because I did not believe my elbow to be broken, but I continue to have pain. This wakes me at night and is very painful in the morning after I have had elbow bent during the night.
Avatar m tn in my post I inadvertantly wrote 'top' of the elbow...let me revise that to depict the 'tip' of the elbow...basically if you put your elbow on the table, the part that makes contact is where the lump is...
Avatar n tn The hematologist monitored regularly through blood tests and physical exam. Over a few months, elbow lump went away, but a new lump appeared on the salivary gland. The swelling was quite noticeable. Biopsy of node in this area and a bone marrow test confirmed diagnosis on slow growing Non Hodgkin Lymphoma. I gather that hematologists will often watch and wait using fewer tests until clear sign cancer is present or progressing before beginning active surveillance to confirm.
Avatar f tn Shortly before my 5th birthday, I fell and broke my arm. Halfway through the casting period, I jumped in a pool. As a five year old in summer is bound to do. They recast it, but when the cast came off there was a lump where my arm had been 'fixed'. My mother and I were told it was a callus, from a mis-set when my arm was recast. Fast forward 10 years and I am starting to feel inconvient pain in my arm. Clicks and snaps when doing push ups, a few too many tearing-up-in-pain days.
691614 tn?1227464651 My arm where they took the blood had a massive bruise (which is unusual for me I have easy veins) and my elbow joint felt very heavy. A week later I have noticed the bruising has subsided but I now have a very promenant lump at the site where the blood was taken from. My inner elbow feels weird and heavy. Does anyone hae any idea what this is and should I be worried?
Avatar n tn I started therapy today and during the evaluation I showed them the lump i have on my bicep. They told me that they think it is possible the tendon ruptured again, And that i should see the dr right away. but tell me not to worry about it that i don't need it for a normal life. My question is the company i work for i have to do alot of heavy lifting. I have to be able to lift and carry 150 lbs and push and pull up to 600 lbs can i do this with the tendon being ruptured?
Avatar f tn I also have a lump on the lower right forearm. About a year and a half ago, I had an open worker's comp case. Doctors did everything they could to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome. Not one to push, I let the case close. Occasionally, my right hand goes very numb and cold, and the lump will ache. I saw my regular doctor after the wc case closed and he wasn't very helpful either. My situation is very frustrating. I have given up hope of someone telling me what's really wrong.
Avatar m tn I am concerned about a lump on my left arm about two inches from my elbow. It seems to be on a nerve because it is causing my arm to shake. the lump hurts. The arm only seems to shake from where the lump is down to the wrist. I think another smaller lump is starting about an inch from the other along the same nerve. Any educated opions would be extremely apreciated. I am currently seeking a doctor. I have an apointment first week of next month.
Avatar f tn What I have noticed that where the lump/cyst is on my forearm, is where it lies on my desk when using my mouse for my computer. Could something like that cause a ganglion cyst?
1792792 tn?1315355724 So, I suppose this is quite major/urgent. Since about a month back I developed this lump on my elbow. I think it's been there for a while but I've never noticed it until now. Recently (I'd say since about last week), it has changed position and now it is lying over top one of my bigger veins. This normally wouldn't be a problem for me but it's gotten very painful.
Avatar n tn Yes the pain is on the outide of the elbow. I can feel that sac or nodule a little less than halfway between elbow and elbow pit.
Avatar n tn my husband just called me and said his elbowgot really big the size of an orange, he has been laying on that elbow to lay tile he said his arm stared tingeling, its been really dark. very concerned.
Avatar n tn the shoulder joint, elbow joint, pinched nerve at the elbow, pinched nerve in the neck etc. I would suggest that you get a second opinion from a neuro or spine specialist and have an MRI of the cervical spine and should joint and an EMG/NCS. Physical therapy would be better than chiropractic treatment in my opinion for a mild neck or shoulder joint problem.
1823499 tn?1370090289 I woke up this morning and my left knee has been hurting everytime i move it or put pressure on it to walk. What the heck. If its not one thing its another. This has been happening for as long as i can remember. Sometimes it feels like a constant toothache in my elbow since i was a kid. I also tried to finish painting this morning but couldnt hold my hands still enough. Ever have this issue? For me its getting worse.
Avatar m tn I HAVE A LUMP ON MY ELBOW AND ITS GETTING BIGGER I THINK ITS A SPOT BUT I JUST DONT KNOW
Avatar f tn Had a blood donation on Aug 19th, 2010, one of many times, and it was a very painful experience. The nurse said it would subside in 5 to 10 mins. The next day a large lump formed on the back of my elbow and the whole joint area was burning and prickly feeling. This continued for several days, went to see my Dr, and she said it was probably a small collection of blood, that was pressing on the ulnar nerve in my arm. It would dissapate and the pain would go away.
492070 tn?1209268506 Does it involve a lot of movement or rotation at the elbow joint or constant pressure on the elbow for long hours? Is the swelling on the inside or outside of your elbow joint? Do you remember any history of trauma or injury to the site? This could be - tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, olecranon bursitis or synovial cyst of the elbow joint. 'Tennis elbow is a condition where the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender.
Avatar f tn She is a high level competitive gymnast and was just diagnosed with OCD in the right elbow. The MRI shows a 8x8.5mmdefect on the capitellum of osteonecrosis and a displaced fragment of lent inform shape anterior in the joint. There is a small joint effusion. This is about 5 weeks of rest for the arm. She has no pain, or grip issues with day to day movement. Range of motion is full on extension and minor change on flexion. What would you recommend? Is surgery automatic because of th loose body?
Avatar n tn And also, when i press on the hard knot on the finger joint, it feels kind of like the joint is bigger on the outside under the skin in the joint. I think it burns now a little when i start pressing on the knot really much.
