Did I fracture my bone?

Last week I was walking up the stairs holding 2 cups when I fell on the stairs. I did not want to break the cups so I stuck out my left elbow to break the fall. I thought I had just bruised it but I hurt a ton the next few days and now whenever I lean on it, it hurts. But you cant see any physical damage (no bruising or anything). I told my mom but she is really busy and I don’t think she can take me to the docter unless it is serious. Should I still go to the docter? Is it even broken? Thanks

Answer #1

You need to see the Dr and get checked out…Take care !!

Answer #2

well not sure about it being broken or just majorly bruised. depends how long its been since the fall. if its swollen at all… I would say its a possible break.. but you should always go to the dr just to be safe about it. A few years ago I cracked my elbow straight through.. and I’ve broken the same arm 2 other times… I would advise you to go get it looked at at least.. if it isnt broken..then… at least you know… but if it is.. they can catch it early so it doesnt cause any more problems.

Answer #3

You may have chipped the bone too but either way you do need to get it checked out, youuse that constitently
