After banging my elbow hard 5 days ago bruising have only just appeared is it normal for bruising to take a while to appear ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After 2-3 days: Contusions from such injuries may not present for 2-3 days after the incident. Continue to monitor if it's just a cosmetic issue. If you have any new symptoms (tingling, numbness, or weakness in your arm), then see your physician. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/elbowinjuriesanddisorders.html
