Bump on elbow

2017-12-31 02:48:39
I’ve had pain in my left arm for a month and about a week ago I hit my elbow pretty hard on the corner of the table. We went to urgent care and got an X-ray and they said there was no break. It understandably has a pretty bad bruise, but now has a small, hard bump on it. The only reason I worry about it is because I have had pain before I even injured it

• Contrast bath---It is a form of treatment where a limb or the entire body is immersed in warm water followed by the immediate immersion of the limb or body in ice water. This procedure is repeated several times, alternating hot and cold. Note that the treatment should always end in the ice water, as heat will induce the body's inflammatory response, while cold helps to decrease inflammation.
