A member asked:
Fell on arm a week ago, still can't bear weight well, push anything or flex arm real well. inner elbow pain. is this ucl or a bruise? neg for fracture
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See an Orthopod: You could have just bruised the bone but if still painful you might have torn the muscles off the bone or the ucl. You need a good examination by an orthopaedic surgeon.
