Broken Arm?

As i was up on the mountain today, i took a nasty fall and landed directly on my arm. After the incident, I could move it around, but it soon got really stiff and right now I have it in a sling. I can easily move my fingers and sort of rotate my wrist. But my arm is stiff and hard to move, my elbow has swelled up a little, and i also didnt hear a crack when i fell.

So do you guys think i broke it?

Well, depends of what you define "broke" as, because you could have fractured it, but you certainly didn't break it bad because you would be able to see it bent. So i would say either a fracture or just a bad bruising

Nope. I think you would know. movement at first is a good sign. Id ice it a lot, and rest up, you should be 100% in a few days. now you have an excuse to take 6 advils and daze the fuck out
