Hello, You are suffering from pain, swelling in the elbow due to injury. You are suggested to give your arm rest, do not fiddle with it. Get clinically examined by an Orthopedics / GP, get X-ray, CT, MRI (if required) done to detect dislocation, fracture, tear of tendon or ligament, any other internal injury. You will be given crepe bandage, splint foe the elbow, arm sling or white plaster cast, whichever is best for you. Presently, you can put your affected arm on an arm sling for relieve. Take NSAIDS, Combiflam or Naproxen, one stat when needed after food to get relief from pain and to reduce inflammation and swelling. Your treatment will depend on the diagnosis made and the severity of your symptoms. If need be you will be recommended surgery by your treating orthopedic surgeon. Get treated at the earliest. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
