Sore Hip, Tender Arm, Difficulty In Moving Arm And Unable To Bare Weight After A Fall. What Could Be Wrong?
I slipped and fell on ice walking into the DAL airport yesterday evening. When I landed, I was on my left arm and thigh. Today, my left hip is sore but my arm (the upper bicep area) is tender to the touch and has a lump. I can move my arm just fine for the most part expect for when I straighten my arm. When I straighten my arm or flex my bicep, it's painful! And I can not bare any weight on it nor carry anything with it. What could be wrong?

Thanks for query on HCM.
Pain during movements indicates muscle and soft tissue injury.
Swelling,lump like feeling is due to collection of blood inside after blunt injury.
Start ice application 3 to 5 times a day.
Take nsaid with serratiopeptidase.
Apply nsaid gel locally.
Avoid any extra movement,weight lifting,sports activity.
Start treatment under guidance of orthopedician.
