Most likely, the "bump" is a hematoma. The soft tissue was damaged, and the blood vessels in the area form a mesh to contain, protect, and heal the damage (if you need detailed info, let me know.) It is most likely just your body doing it's job. If you have pain with resistance or counter pressure to a normal function of that part of your arm - extreme pain - then see a doctor. Also check for peripheral blood flow or capillary refill. Pinch your fingernail; it should turn back to pink within a count of two or three (in seconds).

Use R.I.C.E:

Rest

Ice (ten minutes on, ten off - use a sock between the skin and ice if you're uncomfortable:)important!! must do the ice thing...sorry, I know it kinda sucks.

Compression (wrap it with an ace wrap - a sock works too...over the ice)

Elevation

Hope you feel better!

What is a good way to treat the pain caused in the elbow as a result of arthritic joint damage?

One way is to remove the damaged bone in the joints and replace it with total elbow replacement surgery. The decision to have this done should be made carefully and after having familiarized yourself as well as possible with the nature of your elbow joint and the in and outs of elbow replacement surgery. When undergoing total elbow replacement surgery, the natural joints are removed and replaced with an artificial hinge made of metal and plastic. This implant is inserted into the bone where the joint was forming a hinge and ending the painful contact that was being made between the forearm bones and the humerus.
