Got Hurt In Elbow. Had Four Stitches, Now Big Scab. Still There Is Pain. Reasons And Treatment?
Hello. I had a question regarding my elbow. I was roller skating like a month or two ago and I fell and hurt my elbow really bad. I only needed four stitches, and there is just a big scab there now. But it seems that even after all of this time, every time I bang it on accident on something, my elbow is in a lot of pain and I just want to scream it hurts so bad. What could this be and how can I fix it?
