Lump inside inner elbow

Ive had a lump inner elbow for years every time i got to gp he says its a fat lump anyway i changed surgeries and my arm started swelling and i couldnt hold anything it was painful they thought it was tennis elbow gave me steroid injection it lasted a week and came back they then sent me for an ultrasound which showed a 5 cm lump but suggested further investigation i saw a consultant who said its just a fat lump but we will do an MRI to be on the safe side well i had the MRI done a week later i get a letter from the hospital informing me i have an appointment with a trauma and orthopeadic surgeon and the appoint,ent will be for up to 2 hours no explination as to why or why such a long appointment anyone have any ideas

  • Hi Gradygirl and welcome to the forum.

    I'm sorry about the troubles this lump has given you recently but hopefully your appointment with the trauma and orthopeadic surgeon will be able to give you the answers you've been seeking.

    I'm sure some of our members who have seen a trauma and orthopeadic surgeon will share their experiences with you soon but our cancer nurses are just a phone call away if you'd like to chat with them as well. They are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Wishing you all the best for your appointment when the time comes Gradygirl.

    Kind regards,

  • I too have a definite quite large lump in the inside of the inner elbow. I only noticed it yesterday but are concerned that it may be cancerous. The lump seems to have got larger since yesterday.   I can't see my GP as we only get to have a telephone consultation.  I will contact the doctors to see what they say but I feel like I have been fobbed off when I have other conditions which has been discussed with the GP.  I have a few chronic conditions.  What do you think?
