What could be wrong with my elbow?


I was skiing about a week and a half ago. As I got onto the chair lift I banged my elbow into the bar pretty hard. There has never been any noticable bump, swelling, or visible bruising anywhere. There is a small spot on the bottom of my elbow that sends strong pain through my body only when I put pressure on it (like by putting my elbow on something). There is no pain or limitations to movement aside from then though. any ideas what I might have done to myself??

My sister bumped her elbow something like that last year and(after waiting a week or so she had it x-rayed) it turned out to be a hair-line fracture across the joint from ulna to humerus.

no, but its good to know there are still people like you who know how to type correctly!!!

if the pain stays the same for over a week or two and does not diminish I would let a Doctor check it. Who knows it might get worse after a while. Maybe there is a tiny infection of tiny fracture that will become worse if you leave it like this...
no idea really but be careful with your body, it has to last a life time
