What Causes Fluid Build Up In The Muscle?
I injured my left elbow 3 weeks ago a pulled muscle/ligaments in back of arm up to triceps area, there was fluid build up and I had it drained and a week went by and fluid build up again. the dr put me on some anti-inflammatory med . the fluid that was drained had red tint of blood mixed in. I just had the second drain of fluid done on Friday and this is Sunday and there is fluid building up again, there is no pain, however the muscle is in strong and is still healing. what is causing the fluid build up ? and how can I stop it ?

hi
Hope this msg finds u in good health.
i have gone through your complaints and under stand your concern.
i feel u had a muscular injury that causes blood tinted fluid to accumulate in dependant parts.
unless the muscle has completely healed the accumulation won't subside. So i suggest u to take good amount of rest..vitamin tablets and it will heal up eventually.
hope this answers your question. if u have any follow up queries, feel free to consult me anytime.
thanks Take care god bless
