Should I go to the doctor/did I break it?!

Should I go to the doctor/did I break it?

I slipped on a slick driveway last week and nailed my elbow on the ground. It's been a little swollen and quite bruised since then and the bone feels jagged compared to my other elbow (the uninjured one).

My friends and family think I'm crazy when I tell them it feels fractured, but although it doesn't hurt much to bend it still hurts. The last time I fractured my wrist there was hardly any pain, but I still needed a cast.

So what do you think- should I waste several precious hours of my life to go and get it x-rayed?

yes you should get it x-rayed. i fell on ice in december and broke my elbow. i went to the dr 3 times before they finally realized it was broken because it didnt hurt to bend or anything but like you are saying it felt weird when i felt it. i just broke (like chipped) the tip pf my elbow( the olechronon) (dont know if i spelled that right:)) but thats why it didnt hurt to bend or anything. it took them a few x-rays to see the break too. so definitely get an x-ray. trust me it maybe wasting time now but may be saving you time in the long run! good luck!
