Should I Be Concerned About A Giant Hematoma With Swelling On My Elbow?
Question: I feel on my elbow and I have a giant hematoma and swelling. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Can be a bone injury.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You have a large hematoma in the attached photo. This can be due to a bone injury in the area. You need to get an X-ray done to find out the extent of injury that you have suffered. Give rest to the arm and use an arm sling till then.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
