See below: There are lymph nodes located on the inner (media) aspect of the forearm/elbow. There are not usually enlarged unless you had an injury on your arm lower below where the node is, however, they can be associated with other issues. I would recommend seeing your doc again for a recheck and possibly a CBC looking for abnormalities in the white cells. Good luck.
