I hit my arm on a speaker 11 hours ago. It's still in throbbing sharp pain, could it be serious?

Question

I hit my arm, and now the area on my arm is soft, and sore near the bone could this just be a tissue bruise and would ice be the best option?

Answer 1

I would ice it and wrap it up in a moderately tight bandage. If there is weird bruising ( like on a place that you didn't hit your arm,) then I would go to the Dr. because you may have a hairline fracture, or you could have chipped the bone.

Answer 2

Ice is great option, however, after 11hours and still throbbing, you really need an x-ray to be able to know for sure. Freak accidents happen you could very well have a broken arm. I threw a book bag in the back seat and tore a rotator cuff (muscle that holds the bone together in the shoulder) for three months I thought i had a stretched muscle. It required surgery. Go see the doctor. Good luck and God bless

Answer 3

u hit a nerve tissue that wont stop unless u sit still for at least an hour cause that happened to me many times
somthing cold works 2

Answer 4

If it's sore give it time. But if the pain is in fact sharp ELEVEN HOURS!!! after the injury occured get to the emergency room.

Answer 5

Put ice on it in the first 24 hours... then something warm after 24 hours- if it's still sore.... if it persists and gets worst... see your doctor.

Answer 6

yes ice is the best option.....for the first 72 hours, this will numb the nerve ending and relieve pain, but after 72 hours....heat application is advice coz this will increase blood flow and promote muscle relaxation, and reduces joint stiffness!!!

Answer 7

ice than heat after not swollen, keeping elevated may help but if going down to hand throb it it a nerve....would not hurt to get nerve conduction test if persists

Answer 8

I would go get that check my brother did the same thing with his foot and he had a hairline fracture

Answer 9

turn the bass down a bit and it might stop throbbing

Answer 10

get a new speaker
