Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I noticed for about 5 days my entire arm was swollen then it subsided considerably, but now I notice my elbow area is flabby like it has fatty and when I put my elbow on the desk at work I cannot feel the elbow bone and feels like there is fluid in by elbow area and there still the some swelling in my arm about 60% decrease in swelling. Elbow is not painful and can still carry my backpack with that hand without any discomfort and there is no redness around the elbow. I just had 2 sebaceus cysts removed on my back within the last 30 days and had surgery and everything is healing fine. I do not golf or play tennis. I m puzzled. Thoughts? I am 68 and healthy and still working, but don t exercise too much Thanks Dan McElherne Orland Park Illinois. My occupation is a computer consultant and at my desk about 75% of the workday.
