About 4 days ago i was running when i triped over and fell hard on my arm, i now cant 100% straighten the arm and when i try it hurts bad, the whole arm hurts but mostly the elbow and hand, it hurts to write, throw this, etc also
Should i just wait a few more days or go to a doctor? ( it is not swollen or bruised)

Hi! Absolutely go see someone. You could have a break somewhere that would need an x-ray. You won't necessarily have bruising or swelling. Depends on what the x-ray shows. In the meantime, RICE.

Hi HelloHello! If I were you, I would make a doctor's appointment right away. If there is a break, it will heal much faster with a doctor's supervision and possibly a cast or sling. Also, if there isn't a break, it would be a relief for you. You might as well find out sooner than later.
