Question: I have a sac under my elbow. It feels like fluid. It just showed up. I did not fall or hit it on anything. Can this be a blood clot. Should I be concerned right away?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this sac that you have reported. It could be a collection of blood, fluid or another biological fluid. Inspecting this sac would be very important in making the right call as to what this represents and making reasonable conclusions and helpful recommendations.

To upload an image, look to the right of your dashboard and click on the link to upload a file and follow the instructions. This would forward the image to me for review and more insights.

At this time, there is no reason to get worried. I am pretty confident this might be able to be handled without any personal visit to the hospital. For now, let me get the image and review before concluding.

I look forward to ear from you and would respond a soon as the information reaches me.

Until then, I wish you well.
