What Causes Sore Swelling With Fluid Accumulation Below The Elbow?
My left arm just below my elbow is swollen after leaning on a hard surface. The swelling feels like fluid and it is a bit tender but not real painful. The swelling seems to go away after a few days and sometimes leaves a bit of a bruise. It seems to happen every time I lean on it for a period of time. It only started happening a few months ago.

Till then avoid leaning on hard surface.
