Can A Broken Arm Or Elbow Causes Pain In Arm Movement?
I fell on a floor face forward hurting my right hand, a little of my left, shoulders hurt and right arm and elbow area are painful. ER told me it was a sprain. The arm is still hurting and so is the shoulder. Could this be something broken in the elbow arm area. When I use the hand and move the elbow it hurts.

Hello,
In case of broken bone there is severe pain,one is even unable to do small movements,there is feeling of rubbing of bone (crepitus). Most probably you are not having any of the symptoms.
Although there can be hairline fracture,for which i shall advice you to have x ray.Till then please take a mild analgesic like ibuprofen & avoid doing any type of hard work.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
