What Are The Reasons For Pain In Elbow And Bruise?

I woke up this morning in a lot of pain in my elbow, I must of feel lastnight. It started to bruise which I know is normal when u fall but it is swollen and it feels like it has pressure around it . I also cant straighten and bend it in all the way without it hurting. It also hits when i put pressure on my arm and hurts when i touch it . There is a big bruise and also a red dot i guess where I hit it . What is wrong with my elbow

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be the arthritis,may be rheumatoid arthritis. The other cause may be the boil in the elbow area.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically. Ofloxacin, acyclofenac and paracetamol.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
