What Causes Lumps On Elbow Along With Painful Arm?

I have saracodism (lung) now I have lumps starting at the elbow going up the arm. My arm aches at night so bad I wake up rubbing it lightly. Both hands hurt and when I get up I can barely open and bend them. Is it all related to sarcoidosis or something else. I'm scared.

Welcome to health care magic.

1.In the symptoms and history suggest possible cause for the above symptoms are enlarged lymph nodes.
2.In this case you need to get a through study about the lung infection and its extensions. As lymph nodes enlargement is due to presence of any infection / inflammation or malignancies.
3.The other possible cause could be dilated and tortious veins and suspicious of thrombosis - which need an upper limb vascular doppler study.
4.In this case you need to workup with the issues with ultrasound, CT chest to evaluate the cause.
5.Suggest you to see your treating doctor / GP and request for further investigations and treatment.

Good luck.
