Why Is My Forearm Bruised And Swollen?
I had a tournament on sunday and everytime i kicked the lad on the head he blocked it with his forearm and it killed; and now it has swollen and is a bit bruised. The first aider checked it but didn t tell me whats wrong with it she just told me to exercise it.

Hello,
It could be a minor contusion or sprain, the fracture is unlikely. As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply ice-packs for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
