Accepted Answer

Lymph node swelling: This location of lymph node swelling typically associates with an inflammatory reaction at the elbow or below, in your forearm or hand. Did you have an IV in your arm or hand? Flomax (tamsulosin) could lead to an allergic reaction but I think you would see other evidences. Are nails and fingers irritated? Do you have a rash elsewhere?

Tennis elbow: Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylitis is the most common cause of pain on the outside of your elbow. Golfer's elbow pain is on the inside of your elbow. Both conditions are due to chronic tendinopathy. Treatment is with rest, physical therapy, and Nitric Oxide patches.
