Thanks, I Fell Off The Tailgate Of My Pickup Truck,

Thanks, I fell off the tailgate of my pickup truck, landed on my left elbow and left side. My elbow landed on a metal ramp I was using to push a riding lawn mower into the truck. The second ramp then slid down and landed on my lower rib cage. I have complete range of movement of the arm and elbow. However, there is just a little tenderness at the back of the arm in the Bursa area and it feels warm to the touch At the time of the injury it hurt like _____ but after taking some ibuprofin the pain has about gone away. The warm skin is still a worry as I am afraid that there might be some infection.
