i was standing on a wobbly stool ( i know really stupid idea) trying to change a lightbulb when i overeached and slipped off.
But as i fell i smacked my arm against the coffee table,about 2 minutes later my arm had swollen up and was very painful to move i had a sling and badages at home so i used them to strap my arm up but today it is really painful and still swollen.
does anyone have any idea what i jave done to my arm?

I'm sorry to hear about your arm but when it happened you should have put ice on it as soon as possible. And you should have went to the hospital to get it checked out. When you get it checked let me know what they say and you should never wait until next day

You should have put ice on it right away. I fell and messed up my hand but lucky my girlfriend was there and took me to 7-11 and got some ice, my hand started to swell up. Later the doctor told me it was a good thing to ice it, seems the swelling can cut off blood circulation and cause something bad to happen.
Don't mess around, go to 7-11 get some ice and then stop off at the ER.

Very possibly it is broken and if you wait too long to have it looked at the bones will start knitting back together at a bad angle and then you'll really be in trouble. Go the emergency room and have it checked out. Better a cast now than surgery later on. Go.

If the bump is that extreme you should have taken her staright to the well being center to get it checked, she ought to have concussion or something like that. also fairly with little ones you should no longer note ice to the proper yet somewhat a cold washer or something similar, in the different case get her to the well being care service.

Hope you didn't break the coffee table. Now that would suck big time. And go to the hospital. You've broken your arm.

you need to put ice on it to get the swelling down but there is a chance you could have cracked or broke a bone by the swelling
