Ever come across this?

One of my elbows got kind of sensitive maybe three days ago. Didn't pay much attention because it didn't really hurt. Yesterday evening I did some data acquisition work and leaned on it. Felt weird and painful. I look at it and it looks like Popeye's elbow. There's a bump that's soft and feels swollen. No joint pain but has me worried.

Cut an old sock in half, smeared some Diclofenac gel on it before going to bed, pulled the sock over it. Feels way better today.

Is it AIDS? Has any of you fags ever had something similar? With the crazies running the show right now, I'd rather chew my arm off before going to the doctor. PLS halp.

Sounds like cellulitis. Did you hit something with elbow days ago? Stab it into a wall or such

Nope. No stabbing, no walls or other rigid objects.

Cellulitis? Isn't that what older women have on their legs? C'mon man. Don't do me like that. :)

Edit: Worked pretty hard, lifting heavy shit but that's not out of the ordinary.

Why don’t you take it easy for a week of so and let it heal

Men can get it and it hurts like hell. A friend had it in his elbow and put him in hospital for 3 days. Got antibotics steriod and few pain killers to go home with once inflammation went down thanks to heavy steriod doses and a antibotic pick line

Gee, thanks a lot, women.
