I fell friday afternoon, landed on my elbow, it turned dark green was swollen and sore. But I could move it fine. Its a lil less green today but still swollen and very sore, I can t touch it, because of the pain. Should I get it xray d for give it a few more day s?
Hello, As per your history, it may be due to blunt trauma. For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help. For further assessment you may require X-Ray of that affected elbow after orthopedic consultation. In case of fracture you may require surgical intervention after consultation. Restrict your movements Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
