Suggest Medication For Bruise Of Arm And Elbow
I fell over a week ago and badly bruised my arm and elbow. The bruises are faded now but it hurts to try and straiten my arm completely. I can t get arm all the way straight and there is tension right above my elbow bone. I am 38 yrs old and weigh 222 and am in good shape. Do I need to get an MRI or will the issue go away. It has been over 7 days already.

To go directly with MRI is not a good thought. First get yourself examined by some orthopaedic surgeon. If he feels like, first investigation is always a simple xray, else the injury may also be managed with simple medications and no investigations.
Note: For further queries, consult a joint and bone specialist, an Orthopaedic surgeon. Book a Call now.
