Does Bump And Pain Caused By Injury In Elbow Require Medical Attention?
I hit my elbow really hard Saturday morning. The pain goes from my wrist to my shoulder. I have full range of motion although painful when I extend my arm. Plus there is some swelling and a small bump. What could this be? Do I need to see a doctor or will it heal itself?

This is simple Ulner nerve neuropathy due to trauma, i recommend the use of Anti inflammatory , Vit B 12 Supplement, also avoid extending your elbow for 3 days
It will heal on its own , but if pain continue for more than 3 days without improvement you should do a simple x ray to check for crack fracture
Good Luck
