Hi doc, i have a very painful, quarter sized, hard lump just above my elbow. The immediate area surrounding the lump is red and feverish. I wrestle and am thinking that it may be bursitis but am unsure due to the hardness of the lump. The lump just appeared within the last week.
Hi, greetings from ChatDoctor.it is common to develop bursts of elbow especially olecranal bursitis in trauma. Bursa can enlarge is size due to associated inflammation. It can even be felt like a hard lump below elbow after a few days. This is a harmless lump. If it is causing concern you may consult an orthopedic and get it removed. Excised specimen to be sent for HPR to rule out other bony swellings
