How To Treat A Swollen, Difficult Bending Elbow Caused By A Fall?
Hi! I recently was running on my slick front porch. I know not smart. I slipped and landed on my elbow real hard, now my elbow is swollen and I have a brews on it and I'm having difficulty straightening it and lifting it. I am able to move my hand. Fingers and arm (when bent). What should I do?

Hi,
In my opinion you could be suffering from a dislocated or broken elbow. I suggest an urgent x ray and visit to an orthopedic surgeon. In the meantime take pain killers and cold presses to relieve pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel
