Bad luck. I had a very similar elbow injury ten years ago. It healed up OK without any intervention but I still feel it a little today. I think the mistake I made was that I kept it too static for too long, so try to get someone to tell you what light exercises you can do with it. (My medical advice is obviously not to be trusted, but that's my experience.) In my case, it also took longer to heal than the three months they told me it would. Hope it's sorted again quickly!

Oofff! The state of that eye!
Heal fast dude.

Oh, he hadn't uploaded the eye picture yet when I looked earlier.
I feel we've given him too little credit for this so far:
Seems I saved the bike
Exemplary behaviour, took one for the team, etc.

I believe I also lost my rear wheel on Sunday, passing a parked car on a bend and then swerving out of the way of an oncoming car that I hadn't seen. I generally like to give a wide berth to parked cars so maybe I was too far over but not sure what exactly happened.
Seems I saved the bike by landing on my forearms and face, which knocked me out. I've got a fractured radial head (elbow) and some scrapes and a black eye. No pain at all.
