Have i fractured my arm?
On wednesday i was at thorpe park when i whacked my arm on a ride as it started. The ride was call Stealth. The ride was around 10 seconds long. When i get off i looked at my arm and saw a bruise there. I be a little worried as it had come up relatively soon but my dad said he didn't think it was serious.
I go home and woke up the next morning to find the bruise was very soon the width of the bottom of my arm and around 9cm long. It was also swollen.
It is still close to it now. The bruise is a blue/purple colour and is red hot. The swelling still hasn't gone down. I can still straighten my arm and use my hand although throwing is for a time painful.
What do you reckon? Have i fractured my arm?
Answer: Color: As bruises are no more than blood under the skin the color is common and healthy.
Size: A hard satisfactory whack will create a substatial amount of blood which will lead to this, nothing to verbs about.
Heat: This is actually a sign that it is medicinal. Don't worry about that.
Fracture: Possible. you can fracture your arm short it hanging off or not person able to move. I would get it X-Rayed
Throwing: Either a brusied muscle (most promising injury) or a fracture could influence this. You definatly have the first, the second is for and XRay machine to agree on, and I don't mean the iPhone app, the real piece. You could have even chipped the bone.
I would go see a doctor if the swelling is not going down and/or if throwing is still sore a week after the injury..
You may have given it a hairline fracture or chipped the bone. The swelling should have gone down by in a minute if it was just a frozen bump. You don't always feel severe aching if it's just chipped or a slight fracture. If you can use your hand its a virtuous sign though. Don't throw anything for now if it's causing niggle.
Go to the hospital for an xray just to be certain.
Good luck.

Possibly. I fractured my elbow surrounded by 2 places when I was little. I felt NO headache at all, and I could still move my arm a little but it be very shaky. You possibly could have, my arm never bruised. So lately because you feel no pain doesn't be going to its not fractured. Go see a doctor. And YES I do know my arm was fractured because I went to the doctor and be in a cast for a couple of weeks. I have surgery on my elbow to fix the bone. I've got the scar. You did not fracture your arm. You may enjoy bruised the bone which would explain the swelling and the big bruise. Or you may have cracked your bone (sprain). I would recommend icing it at least twice a afternoon for 1 hour each time. Once the swelling goes down your arm should start to discern better.If not call your local doctor..
It is a possibility that you have fractured it. You call for to have your mom or dad take you to the hospital for an x-ray ASAP to avoid further injury. i dont have an idea that you have broke it
probably badly bruised.
