I have a cyst like bump in my elbow that moves and can be painful when it hits a surface. Im thinking its some sort of bursitis. According to the sites Ive visited ice and rest are suggested. I had something like this similar several years ago but much worse than this time and got medical treatment. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you for the query. Such cyst like structure is usually a benign soft tissues lesion. It can be filled with fluid or fatty tissue (lipoma). If it is connected with the joint, can give pain and is described as a ganglion. The best way to find out what it is, is an ultrasound of this area. All mentioned type of lumps can be removed and tested under microscope. Please consult a surgeon with it. Hope this will help. Regards.
