How Can Elbow And Forearm Pain With Weight Bearing Difficulties Be Treated?

Hi, I fell a week last Thursday, hitting my elbow quite hard. I have had pain down the back of my arm to the elbow joint (which is very tender), and this pain flows down my forearm, and I am finding it difficult to pick anything up of any weight with my left hand. When tried to spray deodorant with my left hand, I couldn t put any pressure on to spray as it would shoot pains up the front of my hand. I did think this was just the result of the fall and I was bruised but it hasn t got any better after 10 days? Thank Joann

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having a soft injury and bruised your left elbow. However you can get your x ray to exclude fracture. Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
