What Could Bruised Like Pain When Pressed On Elbow Mean?
hi! I am a dental hygienist and about two months ago i started getting a pain in my right elbow almost like a bruised feeling, only when i press on it or set my elbow on something. it doesn t hurt when i straighten or bend it, mostly when i touch the middle of my elbow to something. what could that be?

hi going by the description you have provided , In My opinion you have what we call Olecranon Bursitis in your elbow. I would recommend anti inflammatory pain killers , hot fomentation and avoidance of pressure. If there is no relief in 10 days I would go for local steroids and if the swelling is large , then I would remove it.
