I would get it checked out. You can't be TOO CAUTIOUS!
Try to get a different partner next time!
Good Luck!

usually when something swells up, that's not a good sign. you probably need to see the nurse or worse the hospital. But if you can't feel your fingers move or you have no sensation on you arm and you feel a sharp jolt of pain shoot up to your arm it could possibly be a minor fracture. If you do feel something its ok its in alot pain that's why. My grandmother fractured her leg this is how I know. Its not the same but the same symptoms are for every body part. If it swells get an ice pack and leave it there until the pain decreases. Otherwise see the nurse, doctor or hospital if it is really bad. Good Luck hope its not broken.

truthfully definite. you pick X-rays to make certain precisely what got here approximately. the actuality that this got here approximately this morning and that's already 12 hours later isn't a sturdy ingredient. in no way use bengay for something different than overworked muscle tissues. no longer bone soreness. Icing ought to have all started as we talk. utilized for 20 minutes on and an hour off all day long. you ought to make certain a doctor. As on your option to get right into a fist combat with somebody, a minimum of next time grip a roll of quarters, will you? (previous Chicago gangs used brass knuckles)....besides, see a rfile. sturdy success i'm an RN

It could be broken but the only way to know is to obtain an x-ray...In the meantime you could try applying ice to it....Put some ice in a baggie and wrap a towel around it and place it on your hand..leave for 15 minutes and remove..leave off for 30 minutes and do it again...You may do this x's 4....You also may take Tylenol or Advil as directed on the bottle...keep your hand propped up higher than your heart ( On several pillows will do )...hope this helps until you can get it checked....

So basically you will be in a lot of pain in w/e area is injured and it will be hard to move it. I doubt it is broken or out of place because you wouldn't be able to move it. Go see your doctor. They can prob put it in a splint

Ow!
There might be something fractured. I don't think it's really broken: You wouldn't be able to move it at all, if it were. But you should have it looked at. Meanwhile, put ice on your hand to help with the swelling.
Good luck!

It could be factured. Either way I would get it checked out. I broke my wrist before and I could still move it. You never know. If you don't get it checked out it could get a lot worse.

Can you move it? If not, it may be broken. Is it blue? If so, it may be broken.
