What Causes Bruising Around The Elbow Of A Diabetic Patient?
Hello, It may be due to injury. For that you may require x ray elbow after orthopedic surgeon consultation. For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen. Restrict hand movements. Use sling. Further treatment mainly depends upon the underlying condition. Hope I have answered your query... Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr Shyam kale Family and general physician
