Contusion/Inflammati: 23y/o female says I fell on Mon and hit my left elbow on a table. Since then I've had arm pain, my arm feels hot, and it hurts to use it. Should i just rest or get help? Since one can still use the hand, there is probably no Fracture. Just Contusion/Inflammat w or w/o hematoma. Usually ice compress 1st 24hrs & Warm compress there after. Expect some Black & Blue marks but if pain persists see M.D

Get it checked: Without being able to examine your arm and assess for swelling, redness, movement, etc. its hard to say for certain whether there is possibly a fracture or infection/inflammation somewhere or whether this can just be treated with pain medications and rest. It is best to get it checked by an MD. I hope you feel better soon.
