Could Swelling And Sensitiveness On Elbow Be Due To Fracture?

Good afternoon, I fell on Monday night and injured my elbow. The surrounding areas above and below are pretty bruised and swollen. The whole area is sensitive to the touch but I have full range of motion today. Just wondering if I could have fractured it and what I should do, if so.

Hello! No, really I don't think that you have a fracture, because it's very painful, maybe you have damage a little bit the tissue around or the nerves that passe there! If the complaints continue, you must do a visit to the orthopedic and may be a X ray to the elbow! For the moment you can take ibuprofen to diminuish the complaints! Best Regard! Dr. Brikena Dautaj
