How do i know if i should get my elbow injury checked out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Movement/pain: If you can't move it, it locks, looks crooked, or is signifantly painful it should be checked. If pain is just superficial but everything else works yoiu could probably watch it for a few weeks to see if it will go away.
