Went for an x-ray on elbow doctors said it was just tissue damage , letter came saying it is possible a hairline fracture? still can't move it ?

Repeat x-ray : Go back to your doctor . Hopefully , you were given a splint . If not get at least an arm sling for comfort. If there is still that much pain and you can't move it , then a repeat x-ray may be Indicated .
