10 Broken Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Discoloration
Another fairly common symptom of injuries is that the skin can become discolored. In many cases, it will take on a bright red color, often because of an increase in the volume of blood flowing in the area. A broken elbow is no exception, so you should expect it to take on a different appearance.
In addition to becoming bright red in color, you may also notice that the skin can take on a different complexion. The skin in the area might also begin flaking off as it dies and is replaced by fresh skin. The area should return to normal once the injury is healed.
