What Causes Painful Lump Under Skin On Inner Forearm Between Wrist/elbow?

I have a 2.5x2cm painful lump under the skin on my right inner forearm between the wrist and elbow. There is no redness or warmth, just very painful to touch. When I flex my wrist it makes the area around the lump tight and that also causes me pain. Any ideas please?
