Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Elbow After An Injury
2 months ago I fell on hardwood floor - my elbow took the brunt of the fall. Had to leave immediately for trip so waited til I returned 10 days later to have it checked out. X-rays showed no fracture however dr said there was a shadow and possible blood clot. Now 2 months later the swelling/bruising have gone down but there s a lump the size of a marble that seemed to be getting bigger by the day. It is still painful.

Hi.
Best to visit a surgeon and go about an ultrasound of the region which can predict whether or not that is a hematoma that may require manual drainage. The lump should not be painful anymore so it is best to address it now.
Best wishes.
