stick some ice on it or a bag of frozen peas or something until you can get an x-ray..im sure its nothing too serious it could be badly bruised under the skin, maybe a small chipped bone or it could just be a bad sprain. but definitely go get it checked out hope this helps :)

If you really have fractured your elbow (eek!), you should feel the pain spreading up and down your arm, and the pain should either be nonstop, excruciating pain, or sharp pains, then no pain, then sharp pain, etc. Try bending your arm at the elbow and unbend it, do this a couple times. If the pain is so severe that you can't do this, then ask your mom to take you to a doctor. Also, be sure to ice your elbow and don't lean on it or move your arm too much. As for your bike, next time you ride it, make sure the chain isn't rusty (oil the chain, or ask a parent to do it), because rusty chains are more prone to breaking. Feel better soon! :)

You might have fractured it, but i need to know more to tell for sure. If your in major pain it might be worth it to fun into the emergency room, but it was kind of a stupid decision to not run in for a 5 minute xray at a walk in clinic or something ( no Offense ). Hit up a clinic, rest it a lot, dont bend it too much, put a pack of ice underneath it and go see a doctor asap. It wont be expensive or anything, your insurance will cover it. Any more medical quiestions ask me.. the haha boat.. GooD LuCk

listen i know that u had an accident on your bike but even when it started getting better u should had at least waited two weeks or gotten a response from your doctor before putting pressure on it. listen what u should do is go and get a cast and next time u want to lean on your elbow lean on a soft pillow first ok.

Put ice on it all day today. If it still hurts you tomorrow go to the emergency room and get it looked at. You might have sprained or bruised it.
