<human>: Hi doc, i have a very painful, quarter sized, hard lump just above my elbow. The immediate area surrounding the lump is red and feverish. I wrestle and am thinking that it may be bursitis but am unsure due to the hardness of the lump. The lump just appeared within the last week.
<bot>: Hi, greetings from ChatDoctor.it is common to develop bursts of elbow especially olecranal bursitis in trauma. Bursa can enlarge is size due to associated inflammation. It can even be felt like a hard lump below elbow after a few days. This is a harmless lump. If it is causing concern you may consult an orthopedic and get it removed. Excised specimen to be sent for HPR to rule out other bony swellings
