Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. There are many causes for swelling, it could be inflammatory or secondary to some trauma etc. Can you please tell me whether there is any local warmth on touch or any other symptoms like skin redness etc? please also send me a clinical picture showing your elbow movements from full bent posture to a straight posture. Also kindly send recent blood tests so that I can see and advise accordingly. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
