Is Stinging Sensation Sign Of Fracture After Injury?
I tripped on the doormat and banged my elbow on the corner of my granite step a little over three weeks ago. I had a large scrape and a little bit of bruising with minor swelling. When it first happened I had some pain when I bent or extended it fully. Now I have a full range of motion, but I am still experiencing a burning/stinging sensation when I move it. Could this be a sign of a broken or shipped bone? The bruise went away and it doesn t seem to be swollen.

Hello,
Numbness and tingling can result if there is nerve inflammation or injury. These symptoms are not commonly related to a fracture. I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest to avoid movements that can trigger the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
