In January, fell on tile floor hitting directly on my (R) elbow. Had usual, swelling, black & blue whole arm and pain. Now, most of elbow swelling and pain subsided. Unfortunately, still have swelling above elbow and not able to straighten arm. Maybe a loss of 10 degrees of extension. Went to see orthopedic surgeon and was diagnosed with torn tricep muscle. Scheduled for MRI. Two options: surgery to reattach one of heads ( most of pain near elbow occurs on interior side closest to body) or rest/recuperation. What would your opinion be?
