Hi--for the past few weeks, I've had a painful hard bump on the bone on the outside of my elbow. I've also had tenderness from my elbow to my wrist that hurts when I lift anything. Could this be "tennis elbow"? Not sure how I would have gotten it, but I've been doing some overhead arm exercises using bands (with a pulling down motion). Could the bump be a symptom of bone cancer? Thank you for your help!
HI. This certainly looks like a tennis elbow. The first part of the treatment is give ''rest'' to the ailing part. Means put the forearm in sling and no movements at all.
Take good anti-inflammatory medicines Ibuprofen in an appropriate dose under the Doctor's guidance.
Get an X-ray or a CT scan if you have a doubt of a cancer ( only these investigations help to rule out the mental problems of phobia).
Take an opinion of an Orthopedic Surgeon.
