How To Treat Lumps Under Skin In Both Arms?

Sure, I have lumps under skin in both elbows which swell and cause my arms to ache. The lumps range in size from pea like to 2 inches long. The pain and swelling usually only affects one arm at a time. I also have numbness and tingling in my left hand. I think the lumps are resting on a nerve. What might the lumps be and can they be removed?

A lump at descibed site might be a bursitis or a lump like lipoma or fibroma. Generally benign painless lump not need any intervention, if cosmetically not a problem. But if pain is non tolerable and creating problem then it can be removed surgically.

Thank you.
