I fell on my elbow and forearm. Its been about 2 hours. At first it was just pain. Then it seemed to lessen. But then I was not able to use any strength. And now I can t extend it completely and I can t bend it more than halfway. There is no bruising, but a little swelling around the elbow on the forearm. it doesn t hurt when it stays bent halfway. But when I turn my wrist outward it hurts. What should I do?
Hi, Thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you had a fall on elbow, and it was swollen, and now after 2 hours the situation is you can't move your elbow, I will strongly recommend to undergo an X-ray, never neglect the smallest injury, as it may become bigger any day in the future. Getting treated on time is the first step to better health. Prevention is better than cure. I hope you will understand this, as you can get help better. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
