Any advice on recovering from a bruised/sore elbow? I fell on ice at the start of the week and my elbow took a big whack during it. I'm certain nothing is broken or fractured, and my movement isn't restricted, but it was tender when I put some pressure on it. For the first few days I iced it and it was getting better, then yesterday I fell again on the ice. My elbow didn't take the fall first, but it's put it back to square one. I can ice it again and try to stay away from slippery surfaces, but anything else I can do to help the healing process along, or how long I'll need to wait it out? Most searches I've done for elbow injuries show up fractures, and only a couple of bruised elbow injuries by sportsmen which gave a two-week timeframe.
On the same note, is it better to avoid any gym work using my arm, or can I do a workout that simply avoids too much strain on the elbow?
