I'm having arm pain after a 4 wheeler accident?!
Question: I'm having arm pain after a 4 wheeler accident!?
I hurt my arm 2 almost weeks ago while racing my 4 wheeler & I'm still in pain (but I don't want to go to the hospital with no insurance) I have mild pain all the time during any movement!. I also have burning pain up my arm when I twist my wrist or if I use that arm to left heavy objects or I put any strain or weight on it!. The mild pain is increased first thing in the morning!. It never swelled up or it is not warm/hot to the touch in anyplace so I don't think that it broken!. I think that I just strained a muscle But the constant ach makes me think that I may have cracked the bone!. Has anyone ever cracked or broken their bone & not had swelling or heat!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Since the pain is so wide spread and inconsistant I would say it more muscular than anything!. Since you do have mobility I would just suggest time to heal it!. I know the feeling of having no insurance and trust me if I thought that it was more serious than something that time can't fix I would say go see a doctor!. However, even it were a broken bone, there is nothing they can really about it and all they would do is give u a weeks worth of pain meds MAYBE!. If it were a broken bone the doc would tell you that giving it time will make it heal itself so I would suggest you take nothing more than some generic motrin and advil for about the next two weeks as needed and then see the situation!. If the pain is at the same level as it is right now or worse than you will have to see a doc but if u think that it is getting much better and you feel as though at the rate that you are healing, another week and you will be good then I would say congrats and think no more of it!. The best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
