Quite a few months back I started having pain in my elbow and nearby, talked to my doctor about it and she said she thought it was carpal tunnel but wasn t worried about it. The pain comes and goes and I have noticed recently that sometimes I have pain in the area where this new lump is but I never really noticed a lump until today. But today I happened to go to scratch the area and felt something weird under the skin and started feeling around and looking at it and realized that there is a pretty large kind of hard lump under the skin that is definitely not on the other arm and that I never noticed before. I am quite concerned but don t know if I should be. I have just arrived today to volunteer at a camp for a week and am wondering if this is something I should make an appointment for with my doctor for when I get back or if I should have the on site doctor look at it and if I should be concerned. Thank you for your time!

thanks for sharing your health concerns with us!
you have to mention the size of the lumps; however, it seems that these are some kind of COLLECTION within the swelling!
possibilities are Ganglion, bursa, an abscess or some gouty tophus! s
an FNAC TEST IS THE BEST WAY TO CONFIRM IT!
