Probably: ? Are you under care with an orthopedic surgeon/ if so you should discuss with him or her if it is an undisplaced fracture then swelling could be for several weeks esp if you are still using it elevation may help and some sort of elbow support like a heelbo ( which you can get at a surgical supply store) please discuss this with your treating doctor.
