I fell really hard on my elbow. Its a slight scrape, which is no big deal, and it doesnt hurt much, but when I try to bend or straighten my elbow, it starts to feel uncomfortable and i cant do it. What might be wrong with my elbow? And what should I do?
Hi... Sorry to hear about your fall. The fall as you narrated a bad one...then there could be associated muscle spasm of the muscles around the elbow. Which is why you experience difficulty in bending and stretching arm... If I were you I would have got an x-ray done...Don't worry... I would suggest you to-Do frequent icing.to elbow... you can wrap the whole elbow with ice....icing on biceps.... You can knead on the biceps... strictly not on the site of pain... You can have Anti-inflammatory tabs if you have one prescribed to your earlier by your GP...keep it compressed with a compression sleeve or bandage... Hope this is useful for you... Kindly revert in case you need any further clarification....
