Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Elbows Due To Fall

I fell on my stairs 2 months ago and landed with all my weight on both elbows. 1 elbow turned black & blue and hurt. The other didn't hurt but swelled up like it was full of fluid which lasted for about 2 days. the swelling went down, but it has hurt since then, Today I noticed it doesn't hurt as much (only hurts when I touch it) but today the swelling has come back. I can use my arm fine, there is no pain from bending it , lifting, etc. Only when I touch it, lean on it, or bump it.

Hi!

Apply ice regularly for 15 mins( 2-3 times a day). Icing would bring down the pain and also if for any inflammation. Thanks
