maybe a broken arm? sore when i staighten it?!


Question: Maybe a broken arm? sore when i staighten it?
i came off my bmx earlier and gave my arm a pretty bad knock, as soon as it happened there was no pain but my hand went numb, after about 15mins it got sore.
When i have it sitting normal its not sore just uncomfortable but when i try straghten it its really sore and feels as if somethings blocking it like a bone...
the pain is on the fore arm just below the elbow
whats wrong with it and do i need an xray?
i can move my hand aswell*

if you can move your arm it is not broken. You probably just have swelling



i would get it checked out because if you have a broken arm, you CAN still move it, trust me, i have brocken like 14 bones and my friend broke her arm a similar way to what you did. get it checked out. get an x-ray. it is possibly broken.



Pretty confident it isnt broken. You may have strained a muscle. The muscle has tightened up and that is the resistance you feel. It should heal fine on its own in a few days.
