Hi. My 9 year old daughter has a swelling on her outer arm about a hands width up from her wrist. She says its painful if touched or squeezed and comlains of a burning sensation there. I dont recall her ever receiving an injury to that area or having any significant bruising. She is a very active child though who rides a bike, scooter and plays on the trampoline a lot. I cant get an appt with my gp for 2 weeks and my mind is running in circles about it now. I would describe it as a swelling as opposed to a lump as when you look at her arm at the right angle, the difference is gradual rather than very pronounced. Can u help? Could it be fluids protecting an injury? Its been there a couple of weeks that i am aware of but she says its been there a lot longer.
