question: Thanks...I had an experience about 3 years ago when my outer right elbow started to itch suddenly and intensely....At the same time I noticed a swelling like tennis elbow around it....It finally went away, but the swelling has stayed...One Dr. thought the swelling was bursitis....But at that time the itching wasn t present...Every once in a while I get the itching and it is intense and usually accompanied by a sore.......The sore is in the center of a red spot which is in the middle of the swollen lump....It comes and goes....I have it now.
