There is nothing worst than the internet for reading info about someone's health. You can't imagine the amount of crap you can read in even respected sites.

Ok, here is your medical advice for free hehehehe

The lump most probably would be caused my subcutaneous tissue inflammation, not scared tissue I can assure you that. What you should do in a couple of easy steps:

1. Take the anti-inflammatory of your choice by schedule. One option can be Ibuprofen 400mg/8h, or Naproxen 250mg/8h for AT LEAST THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS. It doesn't matter if it hurts or not since the target is rather the inflammation.

2. Don't just use ice pads. Alternate between a cold and a hot source every 20 minutes. For example, use ice pad for 20 minutes, then one of those rubber water bags or a hot towel for another 20 minutes and repeat twice or three times if you have the time (and the patience hehehe).

3. Stretch before and after every physical activity. Stretching your biceps will cause a stretch in the tendons directing to your inner "elbow", which would relief and prevent he epicondilitis.


If you have any further doubt or you would like some further info, feel free to ask again. I know taking medical advise from a "stranger" is a little odd, so feel free to PM me if you want my credentials.
