Hit Elbow, Drained Fluid. Have Fluid Build Up Again. Feels Like Chips When Rubbed. Will It Heal?
I hit my elbow on concrete. It s not so tender now. After 5 weeks, fluid built up in my elbow - no pain, but I had it drained - 4.1 ml. A week later, it has filled again, more than before. Still no pain. I ve kept it wrapped in an Ace bandage for that week. When I rub the tip of my elbow, it feels like chips and little pieces inside. Will this heal?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The chips that you are feeling are likely to be bone pieces due to the injury to the elbow. You need to get an X-ray done to find this out.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
