How To Treat Pain And Swelling Between Elbow And Wrist After Injury?

A few days ago when I was high jumping I landed with my arm straight out and my whole body landed on it. There is no swelling but it is very painful in the area between the elbow and wrist. Today bruises started to form on areas that I never even landed on. I would like it to heal by tomorrow also because I can t lift anything up and because I have a track meet.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury. X ray of the forearm will be helpful in detecting any bone fracture. Presence of bruise is due to accumulation of fluid and blood following the impact, which signifies damage to underlying blood vessels in the area.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac + Serratiopeptidase preparations (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in your diet which will help in strengthening of bones.

So, kindly consult your Doctor/ Orthopedician. The decision of participation in the track meet can be taken after a proper clinical + radiological evaluation.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.

Wishing you a Good Health.
Take care.
