When I move my arm , my forearm feels tight and have needle like pain!. It is not swollen or discolored!. I would appreciate any help!. Thank you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
You'll have to be a little more descript about your pain and your previous injury if you could!. Specifically what part of your elbow dislocated and where was the hairline fracture!. Also, entire arm as in front and back and both upper arm and forearm!? Do both sides of your forearm feel tight!? When you move your arm any which way it hurts!? If so, are there particular movements that hurt worse!? Anything other than not moving your arm make it feel better!? Any swelling or anything like that!? All that is good information to start localizing the source of your pain!. And I know this may sound like a cop out answer but if the pain in your arm hasn't seen any improvement in the past couple days it may be getting time to go and see a doctor!. And if/when you do, all the answers to the questions I just asked will be things to tell the doctor!. Good Luck!
Addendum: I know what you're saying about the paying your way through school thing!. Insurance not offered through school!? Anyway, I still don't think anyone can definitively say what the problem is without doing a complete examination and taking a history!. If you're looking for possibilities (and I mean possibilities in the truest sense of the word) then here's a couple!. If the pain is isolated to just the inner part of your elbow again then it could be something involving the flexors of your fingers and wrist as that's where they attach!. But then it could be any soft tissue in that area!. Also if you do push ups and other exercises that put a large amount of pressure on your elbow it could be a stress fracture!. I wouldn't want to start in on poking guesses at the feeling of tightness!. I apologize!. In my opinion as I said earlier you probably need to see someone to get it taken care of!. Check to see if there is a free clinic in your area maybe!. Hope that I helped at least some!. Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
