Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Tenderness In The Elbows

Hi! Yesterday I fell l forward and caught myself with my hands. Now my left elbow hurts. There is some bruising, but no swelling that I can see. It s tender to the touch. I can bend my arm to approximately a 45 degree angle, but any higher than that is very painful. Anything like eating with my left hand, applying lipstick, etc is now off limits. Do I need to see a Dr. or can I treat it with home care? Thanks for your help!
