Suggest Treatment For Painful Bump On The Crease Of Elbow
Hii I have a bump like on the crease of my elbow and it hurts to like touch it and I play volleyball and I m scared that I won t be able to play, but I don t know what it is! And it s like affecting my elbow, it s nothing unbearable but it s just kind of sore after practice! The bump actually scared me because it s not supposed to be there haha.
Depending on the location and exact descritpion (beet provided by a doctor), treatment will be directed. It could be a swollen and/or injured muscle tendon, bursitis, etc. In either scenariis, playing volleyball should be avoided until a diagnosis is reached. Apply a warm compress to the region several times a day and use a mild anti-inflammatory medication.
Best wishes.
