I banged my elbow vey hard yesterday. Now it is bruised and slightly swollen. It tingles down my arm, my fingers feel fat and there is pain running along the bottom of my arm into my fingers. It still hurts even with Aleve. Is this serious enough to need to go to an urgent care?
Hello, Bruising sometimes mask an underlying soft tissue or bone injury, esp. if asociated with swelling..So, if not on an urgent basis, atleast review with an orthopedician for evaluation of the joint structures and an Xray for bony abnormalities, whenever possible for you. For the time being, i would suggest rest to the joint (splinting) and good analgesics like tab Zinase-D 1 tab twice daily Take care Get well soon
