Does anybody else have a lump near the elbow crease?

[Anonymous]

I noticed my right arm has a lump that hurts when I touch it, my whole arm hurts sometimes too and I barely use it. Do you know what this could be? Is it normal? Should I go to the doctor?

this isn't my arm in just showing the lump would be on the top of the arm on the left

It is very likely a lymph node. It could somehow be infected. I infected the two in my neck and it hurt to swallow and twist my head. My roommate's lymph node in her arm pit swelled up before she realized she had celiacs disease (it means you can't eat gluten). Mine have been swollen for 5 months (no joke). They are significantly smaller now and this is after I went to the doctor several times. They reduced the swelling and the pain, so yes, I would stop by the doctor.

Then again, I'm guessing, I just know there is a lymph node there. But all the more reason to stop by the doctor's

You need to go to the doctor. That doesn't seem normal at all.
