I slipped and fell on the sidewalk today and now my right arm feels weak?!


Question: I don't know how to explain it but when I fell, I guess my right arm supported my fall in a way. But I fell hard on my right arm, like my hand hit the floor. I didn't fall on the side of my arm...anyways this happened like 20 minutes ago and now my right arm feels weak? Why is that? I didn't break or sprain anything, but what could it be?

PINCHED NERVE! (My dad's a doctor and he's right here next to me telling me what to write! Trust him on this one!)

too bad if you fell

It might just be soar.
or it could be sprained
If it keeps on bothering you i would go to the doctor.

u just pulled a muscle when u fell just dont use ur arm it will heal up in about thrree days do to that muscle heals so fast

Could be a pinched nerve

pinched nerve or a tumor

um maybe it just hurts Duh

Maybe you jammed it. The nerves might be shot. Just elevate it and ice it. And feel bettter!! If you don't feel better in a few days go to the doc.

You probably over stretched a reflex muscle in your shoulder or arm. It should heal by itself.

Just let it rest, its nothing serious so i wouldn't worry, If you cant move it at all though , then Id look for medican advice.

you probally sprained it if u broke it you would be crying and not be able to move it if it continues go to the doctor

mabey you brussed it??

It might be soar so you might want to put some ice on it or something. That sucks i hope you feel better

I think it's the muscles. Cuz that happened to me about two weeks ago and mine wasn't sprained or broken either. But it was weak for about a week =[ ...LOL

it's probably nothing serious. the muscle in your arm was probably just worked harder than it is used to. give it a day or two, and it'll probably feel normal. if not, then you maybe should get it checked out. good luck!

You may have sprained it, which is worse than a break sometimes. I would suggest going to see a doctor.

Feel Better.

if you're sure it's not broken, you'll be fine. try alternating ice and heat on the spot that's sorest to increase blood circulation.

well maybe you got a soar. you could put an ice pack on it and see how it feels later. if it gets worse try to go to a doctor.

it might be fractured its very easy to do and the pain isnt too bad i fractured my foot once it was splint fractured and i was very suprised when the doctor told me!!.x

I fell like that and hurt my arm and hyper extended my tendons ans ligaments. It's not very serious I have to slowly strengthen it and regain range of motion thats what my orthopedic doctor told me.
