What Causes Swelling And Pain In Elbow After An Injury?
I had a football game last night, i had my arm fully extended reaching for a player then another player tackled the guy i was extending for land on my arm and caused a lot of pain. It is now swollen with pain at times. What do you think i did to my elbow?

Hello,
It looks that you have a outstretched fall on your arm. There can be injury to your bones around your elbow joint. I shall advice you to at least have a x ray of elbow to rule out a bony injury. Till then you may have a good analgesic to have relief from pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
