Suggest Treatment For Pain In Shoulder And A Lump Below The Elbow
my mother is 73 years old. About three months ago she suffered an inocuous bang to her left arm. It was very, very painful at the time and there was a huge lump below the elbow. That lump has never gone down and it s quite painful to touch. She now tells me that she has a pain in the shoulder area. Is this something to be concerned about?

HI,Dear,Welcome with you query to HCM Virtual Clinic.
Reviwed your messed up lump with shoulder pain.
You seem to suffer from ?Hematoma below left elbow with a painful hit,with shoulder pain lately.
Your mother at 73,mostly seems to have-Frozen shoulder post left arm hit with the painful lump under the left elbow.
Suggested Remedy plan for you is as follows-
Consult your Surgeon/Orhtopedic doctor-
Get the Blood tests and Xray left elbow and left shoulder with arm to rule out any hidden fracture / with hematoma.
USG of the left elbow lump would confirm any hematoma if need be,as its long after your left arm hit that your mother had this shoulder problem.
