On 27th July I fell over Henry the Hoover at home, I put my arm out to stop my fall against the wall in front of me of course my hand and lower arm could not hold the force of me and then my hand flipped back in a second and my elbow took all the weight. I really thought I had broken it so went to have a xray. xray was clear but the doctor said he thought I did jarr my arm quite badly. I have tried to move it each day but the muscle has decreased and it is very painfull in certain positions. and over night it becomes very sore and stiff. what damage do you think i have done. Thank you. I am a very young and fit 56 year old
Hello, You might have injured some tendon or ligament in the arm. X-ray can not detect soft tissue injuries like tendon and ligament. Consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
