What Could Lumps In The Elbows Indicate?

I have had knots to form over the last year in the krook of my elbows. They seem to be muscle related and become sore and achey after doing a repetitive or strenguous exercise with my arms. I wonder if they are related to donating plasma on and off for a few years. Another one has popped up the last few weeks and I haven t given plasma in this arm for almost a year.

Hi,DEar,thanks for your query to HCM.I studied your query in depth.1-In My opinion the sore lumps which popped up last few wks , most probably are due to the -post-donation thrombophebitis with fibrosed tissue in it-.2-Still you should check up for the Dercums disease-which are painful lipomas , which could be other possibility for such lumps , without any relation to the donation.3-Hope this would solve your query.4-Wellcome for any more questions on new or this subject also...Have A Good Day..!!
