What Causes Painful Elbow After An Injury?
Hi, yesterday, I hit my elbow on something hard (I forgot what it s called) and all day I have had a pain where it was hit. The pain increases when I straighten my arm or put pressure on it? Sorry if that s a stupid question, it s really hurting. Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
Elbow joint is very fragile one and if hit it could cause lot of pain even in the absence of fracture, still to rule out the possibility of this better to get done the X-ray of elbow joint till the it need to be keep in sling and anti-inflammatory drug can be taken and the best choice would be "Tab Diclofenac 50mg once in day" hope this information helps, take care.
