How Long Does Elbow Pain Injury Take To Get Cured?
I was decorating the christmas tree, fell off a chair and banged my elbow on a hard wood floor. Now I have a spot about the size of a nickel that will deliver instant shooting pain if I lean on it just there. Will it heal up after a while? I am 56 and male and sort of a skinny guy.

Hi,
In my opinion if no fissures or any inability of movements of your joint actions flexion, extension, rotation, supination properly with icing it for the first 48 hrs, massaging with topical gels and NSAIDs painkillers would not take more than a week if not I recommend slabbing and elevating by an arm sling , x-rays, CT for proper evaluation. Please condider some positive feedback if the information was helpful.
Hope the above information helps you, Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
