What Does A Painful Lump In Elbows Indicate?

I have a painful, moveable lump in both of my elbows that I have no idea what are. I have had one lump in my right elbow for quite some time, but it has just now started to hurt. The lump in my left elbow just recently happened after I fell on my left elbow playing basketball.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You may have some benign cyst like sebaceous cyst or ganglion cyst. Or you may have some soft tissue tumor like lipoma or neurofibroma or something else.
You should go for fine needle aspiration cytology.
It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Excision is the treatment of choice. Consult your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
