What Causes Lumps On Elbows With Fluid In Them?

Hi, I'm 41 yrs old and started boxing at the age of 8 yrs old, I have lumps on both elbows and they are hard yet feels like fluid in them also. My question is what can I do about this or is there anything I can do about this problem? I still like to workout with weights and do alot of push-up's but that is getting to point i can't do that anymore because they hurt me so much.
