What Causes Lump Below The Elbow Crease?

I have pain aching top of my hand and wrist. Aching in fingers and sometimes I'm unable to use a pen to make letters, it's as if my hand just won't work. Also a lump just below the crease of the elbow on the top side of my forearm which causes great pain when pressed or massaged.

Hi.
This looks to be due to involvement or entrapment of the nerves during its course from a brain to the upper limb.
You really need a good clinical examination by a Neurologist to find out the place of nerve involvement and then go for the MRI and other investigations as per His findings and orders.
