What Could Cause Hard Painful Lump On Outside Of Left Elbow?

I have a red hard painful lump on the outside of my left elbow. I am 58yo female with no history of arthritis I do suspect I may have gout in my right big toe joint which I ve been attempting to treat at home. I m 5 3 120 lbs have been this weight all my adult life I m healthy and exercise regularly. The pain radiates up the back of my arm as well as down to my wrist. I do not have any heart issues. So what do you think?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have gout or other soft tissue tumour with inflammation. You should go for biopsy of that lump. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Allopurinol is very helpful in gout. Avoid high protein diet. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have any doubts then contact me at bit.ly/Drsanghvihardik, I will be happy to answer you.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
