10 Broken Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Stiffness
You are unlikely to want to move your elbow much anyway after an injury as doing so is likely to make the pain worse. Regardless, even if you were to try, you would likely have some difficulty in doing so. The joint will likely become stiff after the injury and this can make it harder for you to move it.
If you have received an injury, you are likely to be placed in a cast for a while. This will help to protect the area and also keep it still, helping it to heal properly. Regardless of whether or not you have a cast, you should give plenty of time for the damage to heal before using your elbow again.
