Fall On The Elbow Causing Painful And Bruised Bump, Elbow Feels Weak, Bump Hard To Touch. Diagnosis?
I fell on my elbow while running, and now above it (folding my elbow up by my head, showing the tip of my elbow) there s a pretty big and painful bruised lump. There s road rash around it but nothing too bad. The bump is hard and hurts to touch - not too much though, but my elbow also feels weak/limp. It s been here for about 5 hours. Help/suggestions/diagnostics?
