I have a lump on the inside of my arm near the elbow. it is about an inch in diameter and is not sore. i work regularly with weights and wonder if that could be the problem. it has been there about three weeks and has not gotten any larger.

Possible cyst: A lump needs to be seen by a physician before a diagnosis can be made. It's quite possible that you have a benign lesion like a cyst,but you'll have to go to a physician for evaluation.
