chipped elbow

[janny17]

I have begun to feel a very sharp pain in my left elbow if I lean on it, I fell down the stairs 6 months ago and cracked the bones in my left wrist. Is this a belated injury from the same accident - a chip of bone? and will it move and cause me further injury? at the moment i feel no swelling other than the sharp pain when I lean on the elbow - like a sharp pin. Should I ignore it or have it checked out?

Thank you for your kind response will do.

Hello!

You should get proper X-ray scans on present day to confirm healing of your bone after the fracture and understand the status of recovery.

If your healing is complete then you should consider physiotherapy.

You can apply ice packs and take intermittent pain killers.

Follow up with an orthopedician to treat any further complications which you will know after your scans.

Take care!
