Why Is My Inner Elbow Bruised And Painful?

i have a bruised inner elbow and is painful, i haven t done anything to hurt my arm. It seems to be a little swollen and hurts when i try to straighten my arm. I did go to the gym on saturday and my muscles are a little sore but nothing like my left elbow. Can you please tell me why this could be?

Hello,

This should be related to the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) which happens post exercise in some positions and due to once in a while exercising. Nothing to worry much. Do low-intensity exercises on a regular basis and use hot water fermentation for now. You should be fine soon without any kind of more tension.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
