What Causes Hard Pea Sized Bumps Under Each Elbow Incision?
I had elbow arthroscopy about 6 weeeks ago and have very good mobility and litle or no pain of any kind. However, since resuming very strenous acitivy inthe past few weeks such as surfing and swimming, I have developed some hard pea sized bumps under each incision location. IS this OK? Or have I over done it and developed scar tissue? I am a 54 year old male in excellent health and athletic.

there is nothing to fear about , it is just fibrosed tissue on the site of incisions , nothing to be worried for it is a normal response of our body to many type of incisions.
Be fearless it's everything just close to normal.
