Suggest Treatment For Pain In Arm After A Fall
Hi, I was playing football with a friend and when I went to catch the ball I ended up slipping. I landed on my side with my arm between me and the ground. I now have a major pain when I bend my arm fully or straighten it. The same goes for my knee. I also have a pain in my forearm as well but can move everything fine. Should I be concerned with this?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From description it seems to be soft tissue injury .
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.
Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
