What Causes Pain In Elbow After Hitting It On A Hard Surface?

Hi, about 8/10 weeks ago I hit my elbow on a hard surface. It never bruised or swelled. It hurt worse than hitting your funny bone!!! I never had problem moving my arm but...I have pain laying it on an arm rest in my truck & pain using it to push (like holding yourself up to get out of bed if up off the floor). It feels like my elbow is going to blow out! Should I have this looked at? I m the kind of person that does not go to the Dr. unless I have to! THANKS Dana!

Hi,

I have studied your case with diligence

Do ice application, and thrombhophobe ointment may help and give rest to elbow and arm.
You can apply crepe bandage for support.

You may need X ray of elbow/arm to rule out any minor fracture.
You can consult your doctor by taking appointment, apparently it does not seems like emergency.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
