Suggest Treatment For Painful Lump On The Elbow After Injury
16 days ago, I was in a dog-bicycle accident resulting in me falling directly onto my elbow. The doctor xrayed it (inside angle only) and said it didn't break (yay!) I still have incredible (8/10) pain when I touch it and shooting pains from my elbow to my wrist and elbow to shoulder when I turn my arm palm up or when i hold things in my hand (e.g., a grocery bag) with my arm by my side. There is a dime-sized lump right at my elbow joint. Any thoughts on what this is or, more importantly, if I'm causing damage by using it normally (as suggested by the original doctor). Thanks so much for your time!

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of trauma. So you may have some hematoma formation and damage to muscle and soft tissue. You should take analgesic and anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or diclofenac. Gibe rest yo that part. Chymoral forte is helpful in reducing swelling. Don't worry much about that. Just be relaxed. It will heal within few days. Rest will improve the healing. Activities delay yhe healing. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
