Suggest Medication For Pain On Right Elbow Due To An Injury

Earlier today I was getting out of a trailered boat and my shorts got caught on a cleat causing me to fall from the deck of the boat to the ground. I landed on hands and elows with most of the pain in my right elbow. For a few seconds I thought I might have broken my arm but the pain subsided much more quickly than I would have thought, given how far I fell. What I did not expect was the nausea that followed. I did not vomit but thought I might. This lasted for several minutes and I am just curious what that was an indication of. Within about a half hour I was mostly back to normal. I am a 65 year old woman. Thanks.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,
Welcome, and thanks for sharing your concern
I went through your query, and I feel, at your age and with the type of fall you describe, its must to have an X Ray of the elbow done, I hope it comes out to be normal, but there are chances that you would be having some undisplaced fracture which might later displace, and cause trouble.
I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back.
Thanks.
