What could a large swollen knot under the skin on the arm be?

First of all, I am NOT a doctor. Secondly, going by my personal experience of 55 years, there are a few possibilities. It could be a: 1) Cyst (ganglion or otherwise) 2) Carbuncle (another type of growth) 3) Fatty deposit I must stress the importance of seeing a qualified MD to properly diagnose this condisiton. A good dermatologist would be a perfect choice. Lastly, do NOT pick at or try to lance (cut) this growth as it could have a good supply of blood vessels around it and you could cause serious bleeding. Good luck and get to that doctor!!!!

Yes. once you have developed chronic pain it is a sign of a health problem. You will want to discuss this situation with your doctor to rule out any serious health threats.

If you have chronic muscle aches and pains all over you may have a condition called fibromyalgia. Allopathic (traditional) medicine does not recognize a cause for fibromyalgia at this time, however alternative medical communities have many ideas. Before taking medications that can be harmful to your body you will want to look into lifestyle changes.

In less severe cases, this can be a sign of your body telling you to reduce stress in your life and relax. Get a massage, energy work, or some form of treatment done. Gentle exercise is also helpful.
