Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
2 weeks ago I fell on my arm straight when I fell off my friends shoulders, I never got an x-ray but now I still can t completely straighten it or bend it all the way but it doesn t hurt that much now and the swelling has gone down loads but does sometimes return. What do you think I should do?
Do ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help and give rest to elbow and wrist. You can apply crepe bandage for support.
You may need X ray of elbow/shoulder to rule out any minor fracture. You can consult your doctor by taking appointment, apparently it does not seems like emergency.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
