What Causes Lumps Between The Elbow And Armpit?
I have several very small bead size bumps in a row on my vein (I am assuming it is a vein because it feels like a line) inside my left bicep between my armpit and my elbow. It is a bit painful and feels taut when I try to move or lift my arm. My blood work came in with very good results and didn t notice the bumps until today. I just saw my doctor yesterday for a well check. What could it be?

Hi
Welcome to hcm
You must be having thrombophlebitis that is inflammation of vein. No need to worry. Only thing is that you have to apply thrombophobe ointment over it. Venous doppler is required to rule out deep vein thrombosis. You need to do coagulation profile that is a type of blood investigation.
