A member asked:

Slipped on ice, landed on right elbow. xrays showed no big break. its bruised, swellings down. elbows very sensitive. hairline or just bruised bone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like a bru --: Ised elbow, as the xrays were negative. Protect the elbow, for a 10-14 days and if its only a bruised, it'll get better. If not improving or getting worse, get a another xray as in some cases initial xray may not show a fx, which was present. So protecting it for 2 weeks and re-xraying it would be the way to go. Good luck.
