A member asked:
Is it possible that it be broken if you cannot move your arm at all, or just painful with slight difficulty moving it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but rare: It is possible to have a fracture if it hurts to move your arm but usually not common to have that unless you have had some trauma to the arm. Either way get evaluation with your doctor since you having so much pain with movement. Get well.
