What Is The Treatment For A Lump In The Elbow?
I fell on my rt elbow 3 weeks ago and I noticed fluid build up in it last week (egg size) its soft and mushy will it hurt anything to let it go down on its own or should I get it checked out..
It's a little sore if I put pressure on it but not real bad... Thanks, John

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that if this is the trauma then the first thing is x-ray study of then inured part this would ruled out the possibility of fracture, meanwhile keep the arm in resting positing and sling is the best option for this, in my opinion clinical examination is must, hope this information helps you take care and have a nice day.
