Hello and welcome to HCM,
A painful lump on the elbow causing soreness in the forearm could be due to nerve related lump.
A lump or benign tumor arising from nerve can lead to painful lump.
An aspiration cytology of the lump will be helpful in determining the site and nature of the lump.
Aspiration cytology is an office procedure wherein a needle is inserted in the lump, cells are aspirated and spread on slide.
The aspirated cells are stained with appropriate stain and studied under microscope.
On the basis of result of microscopic examination, further management is planned.
Consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.

Thanks and take care
