Suggest Remedy For Lump On Forearm
I was at work and fell, landing mostly on my elbow almost 2 years ago. I went to a Doctor (work comp) who sent me for an MRI and said there is nothing wrong with my elbow. Immediately after I fell there was a lump on my forearm, right next to my elbow that is still there. It s hard, sometimes painful, and when I pull the skin on my arm back about the size of a strawberry. Any idea what it might be?

Since it has occurred after a fall on the arm, it could be a condition known as myositis ossificans which is common at the elbow. It is just calcium deposits and nothing to worry about. If pain increases, it will need removal
