After I Fell, Landing On My Elbow, A Soft Lump
Question: After I fell, landing on my elbow, a soft lump about the size of a golf ball, developed
Brief Answer:
Can be a bone injury.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached image. You have a large hematoma at your elbow. There can be a bone injury too. This needs an X-ray to rule out any bone injury. If there is no bone injury then it can resolve on its own. In case the swelling is painful then do get it examined to rule out any infection.
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.
