Bump on Elbow

Good Morning, I have been on 280mg of Imbruvica for 6 months and have had little issues, however; for the past few days I've developed this bump on my arm just above the elbow. I'm putting Blue Emu on it but it seems to just continue to be there and hurts (5-6 Scale) It's a little red and the size of a quarter. Any suggestions. Is this part of the Imbruvica and has anyone else experienced this.

Thanks Rosa

I had a bump appear behind my knee 2 to 3 months after starting on Acalabrutinib, another BTK inhibitor. I had very similar symptoms to you. The soreness faded after a few days, but the lump took over a month to slowly disappear. You need to get it checked out. I was given an ultrasound examination to see if a biopsy or fluid drainage was needed, which thankfully wasn't deemed necessary.

Hi brooklyn7672, I've been Imbruvica since Feb 2018. I was getting those off n on. Ice seemed to help. They are very painful. Doctor seemed to thing it was gout. I was put on Alipronal. It has helped some. They don't happen as often now. I would talk with your doctor. Wishing you the best. Cindi

sounds to me like a hematoma, which I had quite a few after starting the IB. 280. They lasted for about 6 weeks.
