Large Pouch On Elbow Developed After Fall . Posted: 06-24-07 10:40am
I am a heart patient 78 yrs old. I am on
a number of medications including blood
thinners. I recently fell but did not
bleed very much on my elbow. Three days
later I developed a "pouch" on the elbow
about the size of a walnut and started
bleeding a lot. After three days I have
stopped bleeding but the pouch is still
there. It is soft and obviously filled
with liquid. Probably blood. My question
is whether or not this is a serious
problem.
Thank You
