OH PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE HOSPITAL REMOVING THE PLASTER FROM MY SON'S ARM. THE ARM LOOKS SWOLLEN AND ALTTLE BENT THE SHAPE OF THE ARM IS ALITTLE ABNORMAL. THE DOC SAID IT BECAUSE IT IS SWOLLEN, BUT HE ASKED ME TO TAKE THE XRAY AND SHOW IT TO HIM TOMORROW. I TOOK THE XRAY BUT I THINK THAT HIS ARM IS ALITTLE BENT. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DOCTOCR'S WORK. OH I AM SO WORRIED. I CAN EVEN SEND YOU THE XRAY WHICH I TOOK AFTER REMOVING THE PLASTER.

OK, OK!! Stop screaming (all caps means you're screaming and it gets annoying to read something that long in all capital letters). I take it your son broke his arm and just got the cast taken off. The "bent" look of his arm is normal, believe it or not. I broke my wrist years ago and when I got it out of the cast my hand dipped downward away from my wrist and my ring finger had suffered some nerve damage making it difficult to move. It will go back to normal after the proper therapy just as mine did.

The good news about fractures in children is that in most cases, even if there is a slight deformity in the bone, it will "remodel" over time. The body is constantly breaking down and rebuilding the bone and over the years hopefully the body will correct any abnormal shape and angulation of the healed bone.
The other thing that can cause the arm to look funny is that the muscle has atrophied and become small due to not moving the arm while it was casted. This will improve over the next couple of months.

Hold on! Don't be so over dramatic. You are not going to send anyone an xray.
So take your son to HIS doctor. His pediatrician.
Cripes, you don't get help online, you pick the boy up and you get in the car and you take him to the pediatrician's office like any other mother WOULD.
