[|Human|] I had a wall unit fall and hit my outer elbow. Later I noticed a knot the size of a golf ball on it. I went down after two days. This happened in May and my whole elbow joint is still sore. I hurts to do bicep curls or to carry anything heavy. Is it just going to take time? I think I just bruised it.
[|AI|]  Hi, dairy have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have history of injuries and lump on elbow. You may have soft tissue injuries or bony injuries. Trauma leads to extravasation of blood and hematoma formation. You should go for X-ray once to rule out any fracture or bone injury. If it is normal then nothing to worry. Give rest to that arm. Ice massage & anti-inflammatory plus analgesic Chat Doctor.  You will be normal within short time. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
