Pain outside elbow: May be lateral epicondylitis or tennis elbow. You may also have a bursitis if it is a malleable lump. You can try motrin like products if not allergic , an elbow band avoid strenous activities as it comes from repetitive strenous motion. f/u w/ doc http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/topic.cfm?topic=a00068
