About 2 weeks ago, I slipped on ice and landed on my elbow. It bruised really bad, but seemed perfectly fine. An hour ago, I leaned on a soft cushioned armchair and it tingled a bit and when I looked at it maybe 2 minutes later, a huge knot or lump was there. Its still there, just curious what it could be. It s exactly where I landed on my arm and there s still a tiny bit of bruising from when I fell.
Hi! Good evening. I am Chat Doctor answering your query. Even though it might require a physical clinical assessment of the lump on your elbow for a proper diagnosis, from the history it seems to be a hematoma (collection of blood) of the elbow because of the injury. If I were your doctor, I would advise you with some ANI inflammatory Chat Doctor. This would subside the collection for TH present. If the swelling increase in size, you might have to get it assessed by an orthopedic surgeon in your area.`Further management would depend on the X-ray report, and the related investigation hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts. Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Chat Doctor.
