A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could be a strain: or it could be a fracture. Fractures have significant pain, deformity and loss of function. Strains are sore, you can have bruising and the arm can be stiff. if it is a fx the arm can be stabilized by a splint or Cast initially. An X-ray can confirm if there is a fracture and permanent treatment can be either casting , splinting or surgery depending on the fracture,
