A member asked:
I fell on my forearm yesterday and it is very swollen still a day later....might it be broken?

Evaluation needed: Even though it could still be swollen from a bad bruise. Following on your arm can certainly cause a fracture. I would definitely recommend further evaluation and an x-ray. Please see your doctor or go to your local emergency department.
