Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump On Arm

I have a bump on my right arm (inside) about 2 inches from my elbow. It really is painful and hurts when I reach for something. I use a computer 80% of my day...but it isn t near my hand or forearm? I am 58 years old and have graves disease. How much does it cost to get an answer?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Well, without a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of the lump. Possibilities that may need to be considered include enlarged bursa, lipomas, cysts, growths from underlying connective tissue etc.
I would suggest getting this evaluated by an orthopedician for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. You may get the X-ray of the area affected and FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) of lump under his/her guidance.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern.
Warm Regards.
