What Causes A Large Fluid Filled Lump Above The Elbow?
I have a swelling the size of 1/2 tennis ball about 3 inches up from the elbow. Started feeling it yesterday and worst today....I have always had dry elbows and around that area. It feels like fluid under the skin. Should I heat it or Ice it? Thanks
