lump in both arms in elbow crease Posted: 02-28-08 13:51pm


hi, i am just wondering if anyone can help me and let me know whats going on. For the past 2 years or so I have had a lump in each arm in the elbow crease & also a lump in each upper arm(symmetrical to one another) they do not hurt to touch or anything. the ones in the upper arm i can move around freely(they are kind of long lumps and not round) but the ones in my elbow crease are round and not so movable. they have not grown at all, they're just there. i am not feeling any other symptoms or anything. i do have a strong history of arthritis in my family, my mom was diagonised with RA, 2 years ago. I am 24. overweight.female. thanks

I think you should visit your doctor to check these swollen lymph nodes. Some immune and autoimmune diseases can cause swelling of lymph nodes, and such a condition is rheumatoid arthritis. Are you experiencing morning stiffness of your joints (fingers, wrist)? Do you have painful joints?

hi i don't think it is swollen lymph nodes, the lymph nodes near the elbow are on the sides, this is right in the center of my elbow crease in both arms.

Do you find this lump in elbow crease more palpable when you bend your elbow? Is it located more superficiale or you need to check for it more deeply?
