My arm hurts?!
Question:
My arm hurts?
I was at swim practice today and I was swimming and suddenly my arm collided really hard with my friends head. She was fine but after we collided my arm felt like it was broken. I couldn't move it and I had to hold it while I was swimming, the feeling went away but now the area between my hand and my wrist is bruised and hurts to be pressed or rubbed on. What do you think is wrong.
And what should I do for it like should I wear an elastic bandage and ice it, I don't really know what I should do for it.

I'm also 14 by the way and I'm really active in the summer, and this was my left arm, I also have a sports physical next week so if I need to go to the doctor I can get it checked than but what can I do in the summer, should I keep swimming or would it be bad for my arm

Answers:
It sounds like it's bruised. I would ice it, take ibuprofen, and try an ace bandage. Give it some time, and it should get better- it may be sore for a few days, but the bruise should start to subside fairly quickly.
