Met with accident
Hi recently i fell down from bike... my left elbow took impact... slight scratches on elbow and light swelling initially... later on 5 days i used medicines and no pains or no swelling there after... but 15 days after the accident still i am not able to flex 90 degrees or i am not able to keep my hand straight... when i try to bend it back it is causing pain... now there is no swelling but pain persists... do you think it's a fracture or joint dislocation or air crack?

You need to get an x-ray . sometimes you can miss minor fractures in the elbow which needs to be addressed though they need doing nothing apart from physiotherapy
