Have Elbow Injury, Tenderness, Swelling, Was Drunk. What Can Be Done?

I have a elbow injury from wresting .me and my opponent came off the mat in the middle of a take down and my right elbow took the brunt of the force. It is still a bit tender but definitely improved. This originally happened about 6 months ago. I had a very small cut on my elbow working about a week and a half ago (this may be worth mentioning) I'm not sure if I banged it or not to be honest because I was at an engagement party last night and had a few too many but I honestly believe I would remember . When I woke up today it felt a bit weird and has since blown up to the size of a large golf ball

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden increase in the swelling of the elbow is suggestive of a recent trauma to the area. It could be a hematoma due to the soft tissue injury or a bone injury. Do get an X-ray done to find out.
