Elbow Injury
Hi Dr,
My 8 yrs old Daughter had an elbow Injury when she has slipped and fallen while walking fast at home.
Whil falling shy might have put right hand elbow down. Since then she is experiencing pain in the elbow area. There is no swelling since then and also was able move the hand freely after 2 days.
Now it is almost 10 days , she is still feeling pain in elbow area.
As there was no swelling and was able to make free moment of hands we thought it will be ok in few days
. I would like to know, it is something to be taken seriously and visit Hospital or can observe few more days.
Please suggest.
Regards
Narendra
