How bad is it if I hurt my elbow 4 days ago and it still hurts?!
Question: I know its not broken, or it would hurt alot more. I would go to the doctor but I can't afford it. I don't know if its worth going anyway.

Only an MRI or X-Rays can tell if its broken or not....if you have bruising you may have just bruised some tendons there. I would go to an urgent care center or an ER if the swelling is still there, you have limited range of motion, bruising, and if it hurts for over a week. What I would do now is ice your elbow, in case you have internal swelling it can go down. And remember, your "funny bone" is right there on your elbow too, and banginig it hard enough well its gonna hurt.
It might just be a bruise, but i cant imagine anyway it being ok for an elbow to hurt. Since you cant afford a doctor then buy an ace wrap, icy hot, or a sling for it.
