Elbow Dislocation Symptoms

  • Severe pain in the elbow, swelling, and inability to bend your arm are all signs of an elbow dislocation.

  • In some cases, you may lose feeling in your hand or no longer have a pulse (can't feel your heartbeat in your wrist).

  • Arteries and nerves run by your elbow, so it is possible you might have injured them during the dislocation.
