Landed on tip of elbow
I slipped on steep, slippery stairs and landed on both elbows - my lifetime elbow braces the fall. I have full range of motion in my left arm but the elbow tip is extremely tender to the touch. I initially saw bruising but 5 hours later it’s just red. Is it possible I fractured the tip of my elbow?

You may have done that. Get x-rays done to rule out fracture.
