Elbow pain: At the least there is some bruising of the bones and at the most there may be a fracture. Please have it checked with an x-ray and see your primary care physician for evaluation. Any presence of tingling or numbness is of major concern and may be present from a nerve damage. In the mean time, apply some ice to reduce the swelling.
