Maybe broken: Yes, increasing pain and inability to move the arm after a bike accident means a trip to the E.R. Or to the orthopedic doctor's office to be examined and an xray done. If there is lots of swelling, numbness, or discoloration in the arm or hand, the situation is an emergency because the blood vessels and nerves in the arm may be damaged.
