What Does A Small Painful Lump On Bicep Indicate?

I've had a small lump appear on side of bicep about a month ago its recently started hurting when touched and has bruised and I havnt knocked it or anything, I had a leg op about 5 months ago which is giving me a lot of pain still and where the scars are it sometimes comes up like a spot but blackish blood comes out, my appetite has decreased majorly and everyone comments on how skinny I'm getting, and I'm now starting to come up with a cold. Is this all connected or serious, I know I should go doctors but I really dont like going unless I really really need too :S

HI.
The First indication for going to the Doctor is that you have loss of appetite and weight- which itself needs clinical examination and investigation as ordered by a Doctor.
Please give details of the leg-op.
A small lump near the biceps can be a lymph node/ sebaceous cyst or so. Needs to be checked by a Doctor to see the reason and give you a proper diagnosis nd treatment.
