How To Diagnose A Small Lump Under Skin Caused After Injury?

Hi, just a quick question. I fell off a electric board a couple of weeks back and I have noticed a small pea size lump which seems to move under my skin. When I fell my elbow took most of the impact and there is pain if I put pressure on it. Any idea or is an X-ray is best? Thanks Nick

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be soft tissue inflammation must be due to fall, if it creates some doubt then better to get done x-ray, if it does not cause any clinical symptoms then no need to go for any test, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
