Members responded to someone discovering painful, squishy lumps inside both elbows that may be causing arm pain and locking, with the overwhelming consensus being to seek medical evaluation as soon as possible since lumps can have many different causes. Several members shared their own experiences with arm lumps, describing conditions ranging from lipomas (fatty tissue deposits) to cholesterol deposits, muscle spasms, and nerve-related issues stemming from the spine or conditions like tennis elbow. A recurring theme was the importance of getting proper imaging like ultrasounds or MRIs, seeing specialists such as rheumatologists or neurological surgeons, and not delaying a checkup when new or concerning symptoms appear.

I too thought my joints were swollen as they lend a puffy appearance, especially my wrists and knees. Rheumatologist said it was not the joints even though I felt like I had severe arthritis in them. He initially suspected RA but tests indicated negative. This occurred many years ago. The pain has calmed down but puffiness remains no matter what I eat. Good luck. Hugs!

Hi MaryTeresa my arms pain all the time especially when I'm doing washing, the hanging up, picking up heavy stuff like pots etc, I just rub some menthol and camphor on and it gives a little relief, I hope you feel better soon
