hard lump on middle of forearm

[gennygen]

HI. Im 24 and in good health and a very active dancer. About 2 months ago i noticed a hard, non moveable, visible, pea-sized lump, under the skin in the middle of my left forearm. I noticed it one night after lifting more weight than usual at the gym. i've been to the university M.D. where i attend college and he sorta brushed me off saying it was nothing, but if I was concerned he would just "cut it out." yikes! It is tender sometimes, and doesn't appear to be getting any bigger. Although I have been noticing weakness in my hand and aching in the elbow since it appeared. I read one blog on this site that sounded close to my situation, but never knew what happened with her. Can anyone give me any insite on what this might be and how to get rid of it. Thanks, gen

Hi,
I don't have anything profound to offer except that if you've been noticing weakness in your hand and aching in your elbow since it appeared then you should either go back to your doctor and demand some answers, or get a second opinion.  It does not sound like something that should be dismissed, expecially with weakness and aching.

Good luck to you, I hope you find the answers you are looking for!
