A member asked:
My elbow is bruised and there's some discomfort to the touch. can't recall hurting it, and it's been this way for 2 days. should i wait or see someone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wait: Give it another 2-3 days. If this is a unremembered contusion, it will resolve. If not be seen. Also be seen if you have multiple areas of bruising. All the best.
