my arm is it broken? i need help?!


Question: My arm is it broken? i need help?
ok i was fighting with my brother and my reflexes came when he landed on me and i heard my wrist pop and it really really hurts like i started crying cuz i couldnt lift it and now it feels a lil better but when i try to twist it it tightens up badly where i feel lots of pain my mom isnt home and she isnt answering her phone so how do i know if its broken or fractured

Answers:

A break and a fracture are the same thing, just different words. Is your arm bruised and not movable? If so then it is definitely broken/fractured. If not then it still could be, but more than likely you sprained something.

I work in an orthopaedic office



When i broke my arms i always held it on the air for a few minutes and when i bring it down if it shoots pain than i always knew it was most likely broke. Get seen. If it is broke u could lose nerves in ur hand due to lack of blood flow. *Best Wishes* hope this helped.



Ice the wrist for 20 minutes. any more than that and you will get Frostbite blisters. After that, put a warm most towel around it.

See a doctor as soon as possible. You need to know how to take care of it, if it is not broken.



It might just be sprained. Try putting ice on it to keep it from swelling. And try to use some periods next time.



Hahaha, oh wow...



Simple answer, see the doctor.
