Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
It is possible that you could have develop post trauma
osteoarthritis in your elbow joint.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease and trauma
is a common predisposing factor.
You should meet your doctor for at least an X-ray and ESR.
Some anti-inflammatory agents will do you some good.
Best regards
Dr Achuo
