Is my arm broke or fractured?!
Question: Is my arm broke or fractured?
I went skating and fell down with all of my weight( 178lbs.) on my elbow on Sunday. When I fell I could have sworn that it was broke, but it never bruised or swelled. Still today it hurts when I move my arm, and fingers with pain being about a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10. I can bend my arm, but I cannot pick anything up without being in more pain. Should I get it checked out?

A break and a fracture are te same thing. If you are concerned go to A+E.
GP for more years than I care to remember
A fracture and a break are pretty much the same thing. Yes you should go and get it checked out asap, you could have done more damage to it by not getting it treated straight away.
You may have simply brused your bone or sprained something, but you should still have it checked out to be sure.
yes get it checked why are you even asking for advice on this run to your doc idiot
Yes.
