What Causes A Tender Lump On The Elbow?

Lump appeared just above inner right elbow upon arising. Male 62 years old, 200 pounds, in remission for diabetes & sleep apnea due to losing 50 pounds in nine months, under treatment with Cipro for Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. Recent MRI showed arthristis of lumbar and thoracis spine. So lots of issues, but right elbow lump - dime-sized, not red, swollen, tender & hot is new issue. Medical appointment scheduled for tomorrow, but curious about this lump.
