What Causes Elbow Pain After A Fall?
I am 75 years old in pritty good shape, last week I fell , tripped , and jammed my elbow in to my side. I think I may have broken a rib or at least brused one pretty the right side. The last few days I keep a headache , have no energy. And general feel wore out.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
It could be soft tissue injury or fracture. Get an xray to rule out any bony injury. Beside icing and elevating the limb you can take antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen to reduce pain.
Hope this helps you.
Warm regards
