Now I have a golfball sized growth on my right elbow, Is it soft to touch Luke? My dad use to get that on both elbows, knees and ankles. He played football when he was young and had alot of chipped bones. He use to have to go and get the fluid inside them drained every few months.Very painful. Sorry to hear about all the unfortunate events happening in your life.All I have to offer is my prayers.You are right though, nothing can take your sense of humor away.Good luck with everything and keep us posted.
