Fell on elbow

2017-07-21 00:46:13
I fell on my elbow on concrete 2 days ago. Since then the bruising and swelling have gotten way worse. I can barely move my arm and when I do it hurts. Could a bone bruise turn into a fracture?

Hi mam! As per your recent history of trauma, you should get an xray of the elbow n consult your orthopaedic as soon as possible. Elbow fractures are most notorious to lead to a stiff elbow if inadequately or inappropriately treated. Please use ice packs and analgesics and anti inflammatory and an arm sling to immobilize the affected part.
Next Steps
Consult your orthopaedic! Elbow trauma is essential to be treated and be concerned for. Reason being elbow helps in all complex actions of the upper limb. Most urgently, get your consultation
