What Causes Sudden Swelling Around The Elbow?

Just above my elbow and to the inside I have swelling. The area is medium to hard, isn t liquidity and doesn t move but you can feel something . It is tender to touch\poke about but generally not sore. I noticed it 3 months ago and laughed thinking my elbow suddenly looked fat when I straightened it out, only my right arm isn t? Doctor says it is fat but sending for for an ultra sound, any other ideas gratefully received.
