Suggest Treatment For Blue Bruised Ring On My Elbow
Hi I fell on my elbow a week ago hard enough to break the skin. It iced over completely where I live the same night so I never went to a doc. now a week later I have a purple and blue ring around my entire elbow.. about the size of an orange and my forearm/elbow/shoulder all are killing me.. my doc cant get me in so debating whether ER is necessary.

Hi, there!
It looks like You have elbow bursitis and punction is needed to aspirate liquid.
I am not sure, if ER will do this, because Your condition isnt life threatening, but You can try to go to ER and ask them.
I hope this helps
