My husband has a bump or lump in rt. forearm just below the elbow. Some days it is more prevalent than others. Xray revealed no conclusions. Primary dr. now wants to do an MRI. However, ortho dr, said it was a similarcommon olecranon bursa. But after reading up on this, the symptoms are not the same. Any enlightenment would be appreciated.
Hi, Dear,Good evening. Thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor Clinic. I studied your query in depth. I am concerned about the worries you have. In my opinion, you have mostly-Bursitis of Olecranal.Don't go by the match up of symptoms. Your or tho doctor is right and keep faith in him. I would advise -Tb-NSAID, Antibiotics if soreness and redness is there. If it regresses continue for 10 days time. IF it worries by its presence-your ortho-doctor would do Excision of Cyst ASAP. Co-operate with your or tho doctor who would treat on above lines. This would fix your lump worry. Hope with this you would be relieved of your worrisome query. Wellcome again to Chat Doctor. Have a good Day.
