Suggest Remedy For Pain In Both Arms Due To A Fall

I was being stupid yesterday, and trying parkour with my brother. I fell off the roof and hurt both of my arms. My left arm can move with little pain, but I can t extend it. Same with right, but it hurts more and I can t twist it. I can move all my fingers, wrist and whole arm, just not extend my arms or reach my face. Are my arms sprained, strained or broken.

Hi,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to both of your arm .In my opinion it is sprain . Your ligaments of arm strained. But I will advise you to get your x-ray done to rule out bony injury (fracture) .Treatment of it is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief . Vitamin B and C are given to promote healing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
