Diabetologist,  's  Response
please get an xray of the arm
the chances are that nothing is broken
but better be sure
you realize of course that the management changes completely if there s a fracture

i would also suggest some pain killers and antiinflammatory agents
try a crepe bandage
and keep your arm raised, if possible

see you around with the xray
best of luck
