Suggest Treatment For Growing Lump On The Arm
Question: I have a lump on the inside of my arm near the inside of the elbow. It is more than an inch and has been there for several weeks. It seems to be getting larger. Also, I think I see another lump more like on the other side of the inside of my arm. I am 73 but work out with weights twice a week. The lumps seem rather hard and deep and are not sore.
Brief Answer:
maybe muscle tear
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
It is important to know if the lumps are fixed to muscle or XXXXXXX freely. Also when you make the underlying muscle taut then does it become more prominent, or less.
Overall I think there is possibility of muscle tear, or organized hematoma or tumors like neurofibroma. An ultrasound will really help in the diagnosis.
Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
