Suggest Remedy For Sore Elbow
2 months ago, I fell straight back on my left elbow. Did not go to the doctor. However, I could move my entire arm. Yet, my elbow bone was sore. Three weeks ago it began to fill up with fluid. I did some research and found out that this is called a popeye elbow.I also learn that sometime the fluid will go down on its on, or I will have to medically have it drained. However, can having a popeye elbow cause me to have a fever?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Your symptoms seem to be related to elbow bursitis.
It usually does not cause a fever.
It can cause a fever only if it gets infected.
In such as case you can take anti inflammatory medication such as Acetominophen for the fever adn inflammation.
I also suggest to see an orthopeadist and get evaluated.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
