Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
the only problematic part is elbow fracture and recovery for it may last up to 6-8 weeks if there isnt complciasted fatcture. everything else will be beter within 2 weeks. you should rest and keep your wounds clean. take standard analgesia,there is no other specific treatment.
Wish you good health. Regards
