Lump On The Arm After Accident. MRI Showed Fluid From Unknown Organ. Burns. Help?
I had a car accident a year ago. I have a lump on the top part of my left arm . The MRI showed fluid from an unknown orgin ( a year ago) I started having a burning feeling in it, the doctor put me on lyrica . It is still filling with fluid, burning and hurting. My regular doctor does not seem to be worried with it. Will it ever go away and will it ever get better? (it has been a year)

Hi,
There can be possibility of sinus or a fistula in your arm. You should meet a surgeon for the best advice. It may need draining of the local area or can also be treated worth good antibiotic coverage. The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.
