Had a fall about 2 weeks ago. my elbow is sore when pressured. there is no swelling, bruising or,restriction of any movement. will it heal untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely, yes: Given what you wrote above, it sounds like a minor injury and should heal with little or no treatment. You can try OTC pain reliever, if you don't notice significant improvement in the next 1 week, then see a doctor.
