I hit my arm yesterday on the outside on my forearm now there s a big bump and it s bruised but doesn t hurt bad. I have a high pain tollorence and I ve broken my wrist before with no bruises at all. I can sometimes feel a little pain in my pinky ring and middle finger when I push on something and in my elbow when I lean against a table. Please help
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bump on the forearm after hitting. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like hematoma, soft tissue injury or fracture. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan, x-ray along with physical examination. Doctor may give plaster, prescribe antibiotics along with anti-inflammatory and painkiller. For now apply ice pack for first 48 hours, then apply warm compresses and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
