Good evening ! First and foremost I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my question.Im 22 years old (female) and had a compound fracture at the age of 13 on my forearm. Therefore, I had metal plates put in. For the past 2 days, my arm has been hurting me a lot. I cannot describe the pain maybe as if the pulse has increased only in this arm and it feels cold inside. If I rotate my palms facing the ceiling/sky the pain increases! I dont know if I should go to the hospital to check this out immediately. (I dont have insurance.) :( Im scared. I hope one of you has an answer for me!!
Hi, there! You didn't tell about injuries or hard working with Your hand this week! Its unclear about metal constructions - are they still in Your bone? Presence of metal is risk of bone infection!It's better to visit hospital and get to know, what's wrong hope this helps
