What Causes A Lump In The Medial Side Above The Elbow?

My aunt complains having developed a hard lump medial side just few cms above elbow. This occurred when she lifted heavy groceries. I have massaged the area with hot compression and she is taking advil OD and applying Voltaren gel. What is this lump? Are we treating it right? How long will it take to go, it s already 6 days. Thank you.
