I hit my elbow yesterday, and since then it has been swollen and painful, i can't take pain killers due to the fact that i am pregnant, do you think i should see a doctor??

Answer 1

Ice is best for 1st 48 hours after injury. Wrap it with a clean towel and apply it for 10 minutes. Ice can also cause burn so you must apply enough wraping on the ice.

You also avoid using your affected arm to carry heavy objects, you should also rest the area.

Answer 2

Wrap it in ice. Use a large freezer bag with ice and wrap with a towel.
If it gets worse, see a doc.
