What To Do If Elbow Is Sore, Bruised, Swollen After Falling?

I fell on my arm four days ago it was a flying leap across the room. At first I vomited and arm elbow area was sore but not a lot of pain. Now days later it is still sore, bruised, and a bit swelled right over the elbow. I can move all fingers but movement definitely hurts. Any suggestions?

Hello,

For Such Patient with similar complaints which I see at my Clinic, I suggest him to get an X-ray Right Elbow (AP & Lateral Views) to rule out Fractures or Dislocations.

As mentioned in the history, you had an Episode of Vomiting, for any case of head injury followed by Vomiting, we Suggest CT scan Brain to our Patients at my Clinic, I will suggest the same here. So after getting the X-ray and CT scan done, Please see an orthopaedician and a neurosurgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
