Hello,
If you are having old fracture at arm and feeling pain then you should be cautious. If lifting of weight is causing pain then I will advise you to have a X-ray of affected part to know the reason behind pain. This can be due to incomplete union or stress fracture. Till then you should avoid bearing weight on affected arm.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
