A member asked:
I think i might have broken my elbow. is that the crazy bone?

Not really: The crazy bone is really your ulnar nerve that runs on the inside part of your elbow. Did you have any trauma for you to be suspicious of a fracture? If not its unlikely. If you had trauma, you should see an orthopedist and have it worked up with x-rays etc.
