Ok i now this might be stupid but i went off this jump today and fell my arm felt like it was going to fall off, but then it felt a little better so i kept skiing. Now it hurts to move it up and down. Just curios, how do u know if its a bruise or a fracture. Cause my friend broke her leg without even knowing until she got it checked

I've been skiing with a cast on many many times. Doing it at the current moment actually.

when i broke my wrist i couldnt twist it, and they knew it was broken after that. id definatley get it checked oout, its better to out with a cast on than stayin in and fukin it up even more so ur in a cast longer later.

i believe that you may have a slight hairline fracture in the upper dorsamus part of you lower ignormus part of your arm.

grrrreeeaatttt.

go get it checked! the injury wont magically go away if you ignore it. Take it from someone who has broken 14 bones, the damage a broken bone can do to muscle and nerve is not worth being tough. better safe than sorry, go get it checked.

if you have a tuning fork, or something you can make vibrate, touching a vibrating thing to an area that has a break/fracture will be very painful vs. not painfull if there is no break/fracture, do it to both arms to compaire

def get it checked out. my bro broke is arm once and they didn't see it on the xray even, and then he broke it 2 months later and they could see the old break, and they had to put him under to break it again in order to put it into place.
