What to do if i recently got a crack in my right arm. how recover from that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Follow RICE for it,: Ie: rest, ice, compression & elevation, for any injury. If soft tissue injury only, then thats all that is needed; while any bony injury should be treated by an orthopod. Meds for pain & swelling would help a lot. If skin was injured, then antibiotics, tetanus booster might be needed. Best advice: see your orthopod, who can see, examine and treat you appropriately. Good luck.
