I fell off my bike and my whole arm is bruised and swollen is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Plan. : I can not tell you exactly how dangerous is it. But can help yourself : put the ice on swollen and bruised area for few hours. Check your movements: fingers, hand and forearm, shoulders. If it very painful you may be need XRay. Urgent care clinic and ER - your choice. If it will be worse tomorrow you need evaluation.
