Swelling stopped reducing in hand elbow.
Two weeks passed after accident. Left hand elbow joint has swelling which causes inability to stretch hand completely. X-ray shows bones are perfect. No pain. Swelling remains. Is this normal? Will it reduce on its own? Thanks,

Hello there If 14 days have passed and swelling is still there it means it may have not healed completely or something is missed on xray. What kind of accident were you involved in? Did u fell on an outstretched hand? What medications you took til now? Do you have tingling/numbness in your hand,wrist? Can you upload the xray pic? Elbow joint is a tricky joint...you need proper guidance for it. Regards
