I fell and hit my elbow on the pavement about 3 weeks ago. Bruising has long since subsided but there still remains a noticeable amount of fluid settled in/around the tip of the elbow. There isn t any pain except when I put weight on the tip of the elbow... and it s more of a numb kind of pain... any ideas?
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you have developed bursitis around elbow, or you may have soft tissue injury. I would suggest you following.1. Hot water fomentation2. Tablet Brute 400 mg twice daily.3. Compression bandage and physiotherapy.4. If fluid is more than needle aspiration can be done to remove excess fluids. I hope these steps will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
