My elbow has been hurting. it's swollen and it hurts to move it even a little bit. do i need to go to the doctor?

Yes: the most common reasons for the swelling and pain are very simple to treat! You should seek an ORTHOPEDIC consultation if your PCP (Primary Care Provider) agrees Hope this helps Dr Z
