[|Human|] A couple days ago I noticed a pea-sized lump on the outside of my elbow, beneath the skin.. it is fairly hard to the touch and painful when my arm is resting on my desk or when it is gently pressed. When I extend or retract my elbow to its full range of motion there is some discomfort in the joint. When my elbow is bent all the way the lump is very hard to find, if at all. It sort of aches after it is touched. Any ideas? I cant seem to find anything about it online.
[|AI|]  Hi, Dear,Good evening. Thanks for your query to Chat Doctor. I studied your query in-depth. In my opinion the lump on the lateral side of your elbow-Could be -? A lump of the Tennis Elbow- ? Or it could be French cellulitis-as its hard and painful to touch. Bending vanishes the Lump -but aches on touch. Treatment-a-I would suggest consulting a Surgeon and Ortho-Surgeon both-who would differentiate the 2 possibilities.b-If its -Tennis Elbow-Tb NSAIDs, Rest, if recurs -In. Steroid local would relieve chronic Tennis Elbow-. But if its -Boil on outer elbow-then-Antibiotics, Tb NSAIDs, cold compresses would reduce the lump. If it doesn't, and increases, then Proper Surgical I & D-incision and Chat Doctor. Hope this would clarify the worry you had. Would love to Welcome your queries to Chat Doctor.
