I fell about 6 weeks ago, landing full weight on left elbow. I had immediate bruising, swelling, and pain in elbow area (funny bone). I also have weakness in left hand, dropping items all the time. I did not go to the doctor because I did not believe my elbow to be broken, but I continue to have pain. This wakes me at night and is very painful in the morning after I have had elbow bent during the night. Could I have done damage to the ulnar nerve that needs attention at this point or is this something that will just take time to heal.
