Hello, Causes of a painful lump at the arm joint-A twist twenty years back mostly lead to a tumor in the arm joint. Now the doctor does not want to play with that tumor. Mostly this lump seems to be ganglion in the arm joint and would need endoscopic-laser ablation treatment under digital MRI. Pain at the site would be due to recent growth causing tensile pain in the ganglion of the arm joint. So you should not worry much. So keep cool and consult your emergency room ortho-surgeon, if need be, who would treat it accordingly. So don't build up wrong concepts and create more psychic complications in you which would increase risks and costs to you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
