Hello! Thank you for the query. Such lump is a typical symptom of elbow bursa inflammation. Due to injury or constantly performing some action witch affects the elbow fluid appears around it. The best treatment of such inflammation is rest, lukewarm compresses and anti-inflammatory medicines (like Diclofenac). You should stop working for few weeks. If this won't help in few weeks, please consult orthopedist. Hope this will help. Regards.
