Why is my elbow bruised and arm swollen?

Bruised elbow swollen bruising all down the arm

1 Answer

Answered on 23rd May '24

You may have hurt your elbow quite seriously. When you slam it hard, you can make your elbow and arm to swell and turn purple. It happens when the tiny blood vessels, beneath our skin, smash. For reducing the swelling and pain, you can apply ice. If no significant improvement is noted, you should get the orthopedist involved and thoroughly examined.

I am a 60 years old female. I have bone pain in different part of body. For last 4 days I want to know which disease dose I have. And treatment of this disease

Female | 60

Probably the effects of osteoporosis are coming out in you. Weak and brittle bones are the reason why it is easier to faint and die. In addition, it can lead to unevolved discomfort in some parts of your body. One of the causes of osteoporosis is aging, not getting enough calcium and vitamin D, or taking some medications. The main components include the introduction of calcium and vitamin D supplements, bone-preserving medicine, and participation in regular activities aimed at enhancing the moisture content of bones.

I have a wound on my knee. Two days ago i fall in the road

Female | 22

I think you got a scratch on your knee when you fell. It's okay to have pain, redness, and swelling around your wound. This is because the fall has injured your skin. The solution is to gently clean the wound using soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment, and cover it with an adhesive bandage. Always change the dressing daily until it heals. Opening up is necessary if the pain worsens or you notice any infections with symptoms like pus, light redness, or warmth.

I had unprotected sex.. now iam facing joint pain what should I do??

Male | 24

Joint pain after unprote­cted sex is concerning. It could signal a se­xually transmitted infection (STI). Common symptoms include discomfort, swe­lling, and stiffness in the joints. Getting te­sted for STIs is crucial to identify any potential infe­ctions. Moving forward, practice safe sex consiste­ntly.

I broke my big toe. It was pretty bad and painful and I went to the ER. They do X-ray and told me that by big toe is fractured. It was late and they didn't give me any other information nor my X-ray. They said that I have to buddy tape it for now but I cat step on it or put any shoes. Do you think I need a walking boot or some kind of immobilization to my foot?

Female | 28

I would suggest that you should consult an orthopedist for further investigation of the health status. The X-rays reports as well the correct diagnosis of fractures are necessary for severe injury assessment. Based on the level of severity, he or she may recommend immobilization using a walking boot or cast.

Sir have pain in left knee It was showing as acl sprain and Hyper Lesion on pcl then it mention as gamglion

Female | Ranganayagi

Your symptoms – pain, an ACL sprain – suggest one thing: there’s been some injury there. Hyperextension of the PCL or even just having a ganglion cyst could also cause trouble with movement and make things uncomfortable in general. But don’t worry – rest up that joint, apply some ice on it, and listen to whatever the doctor says needs doing.

I am 36 years old and i had got injured two years ago and bone of my foot was cracked and doctors bind it with plate and it was recovered but now a major infection arose in foot that cause redness in my foot and it is spreading toward leg and whole body is swelled and i am feeling pain in my chest

Male | 36

The redness, swelling, and pain spreading from your foot to your leg and chest could mean the infection is getting worse. It may be the case that bacteria attack cells resulting in a serious health condition called sepsis, characterized by the infection invading the body. This requires immediate attention. The treatment of sepsis consists of antibiotics and other medications to maintain the infection under control. To avoid any complications it is necessary to act quickly.
