was playing football about 10 days ago and fell down. i got up and my arm was killing me. couldnt play the rest of the game. got home and a couple hours later i could barely move my arm it hurt so bad. went to the hospital and they did an xray. apparently nothing was broken and i felt like kind of a wimp. but they gave me a brace to keep my wrist stable. and told me to take some advil for a couple days.
its a week and a half later and my arm feels better but it still hurts. usually its around the wrist. but sometimes i feel pain going up my forearm. sometimes it almost feels like i have tennis elbow. i still cant really use my left arm for anything like lifting a bookbag or even pushing down the cap on my shaving cream bottle. when i try to rotate my arm so that the palm of my hand faces up, i cant make it all the way. hurts too much. doesnt hurt inside the wrist but on the outside of the arm kinda hear where the thumb hits the wrist. however if i type on a computer it hurts on the inside of the wrist. just different pains everywhere.
again they took an xray and said it wasnt broken. but i would have thought itd feel better by now. any ideas? just a sprain? could it be muscles? tendons? ligaments?
