Should I Be Concerned For The Swelling And Bruising On The Elbow Which Is Hurting That Happened On Falling On The Ice In The Driveway?

I fell on the ice in my driveway about a week ago and hit my elbow really hard - it immediately swelled and now it is bruised, and still hurts immensely. I went to an urgent care clinic and I got an x-ray done and the doctor said everything looked fine. Now it feels like there is a dent in the middle of my elbow that goes all the way around it. It is still super painful and I can t touch anything with it. Is this something I should get checked out again?

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have a soft tissue injury to the tissues around the elbow. They appear to be cured , but left some infection, in the area.
Now as have some pain, i advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis, and treatment.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato,
egg, chicken, and sea foods when you have pain.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you
