What Is The Remedy For The Knot On The Elbow Caused Due To A Bruise?

My boyfriend hit his elbow about 4 days ago. At the time he didn't notice anythg unusal about it other than the bad bruise. Two later there is this golf ball size knot on the elbow. As long as he doesn't put pressure on it the knot seems to go away...what can he do?

Hi. ID the knot goes away , this can be coming from the joint itself in the form of a synovial swelling.
The best way is to consult a Orthopedic Surgeon for a proper diagnosis and management.
