I fell badly on my elbow while roller skating. I fell mainly on one arm with my elbow straight. It's quite sore and stiff, and it hurts more with certain movements such as pushing upwards. It also hurts to fully straighten. I've done rice, but i'm not sure if I should aim to keep it still or to try to move it around more to stop it being stiff.

Cold compresses can help reduce swelling in the area. Cooling also helps to numb sharp pain. Apply an ice pack for up to 20 minutes, up to five times a day. Use a frozen gel pack, ice cubes in a plastic bag, or a bag of frozen peas. Wrap the cold pack in a soft towel. Do not apply a cold pack directly to skin. Heat therapy heat helps to relax tense muscles and soothe a stiff area. It can help with muscle pain and bonny pain. Use a heated gel pack, heating pad or a hot water bottle.
