Forearm injury exam: I'm unsure as to what those knots are. They could be blood collections under the skin(hematomas). Absence of swelling is somewhat reassuring against the presence of a fracture. Sprain and contusions may be the extent of the injury, but I recommend an examination by a physician. An xray may be ordered depending upon the exam findings.
