Completely random, but does anyone know anything about fractures?
If I had fractured a bone would it swell or not? I think I have, but it hasn't swollen, so I'm not sure? 
Medical Day needed

Well its the underside of my right arm about 10cms from my hand going towards the elbow on the left hand side as you look at it.
I can barely move my little finger and the finger next to it backwards at all when my arm is turned over. Could barely pick things up yesterday and its only a little bit better today. Can't think of what else it could be because of its location.

Yes  I did it punching my mate when we were pissed on Stella, but my wrist gave way, hand folded over and fractured my wrist. A bit of bone chipped off from the rest and was lose inside my wrist. Stella, hey

Thats what I did, I didnt go to A&E till 2 days after but the pain and swelling hadnt gone down, so I thought I should get it checked out. I even drove home from uni like that, it was absolute agony

Pretty much how I have injured mine.
Whilst playing football, in a completely non-football related incident my mate was lying on the floor as I came towards him to punch him in the thigh.
As I went to belt him in the thigh he moved his knee up and smacked me in the underside of the arm.
Fucking agony ever since and a plan which slightly backfired

I broke My left hand in 2 places whilst jumping over a 12 foot fence with spikes on, as i lept over the fence my hand got caught under the spikes suspending me in mid air on the opposite side to where my hand entered the fence, somehow Yanked my way out of the fence and down with the help of my friend, My hand swelled to X3 times the size and the pain was unbelievable.
On arrival to the hospital a few hours later i had an Asian doctor )who i could harly understand) tell me it was merely tissue damage after examining the X-ray's, Only for another doctor to ring me a week later to tell me my hand was broken and to call into the hospital asap.
My hand was Bloody Huge for the duration of that week however being around the same thickness of 2.ltr bottle of coke, although i did still try riding my pedal bike
then i broke my right hand & Wrist 4 weeks after getting my cast off my left arm, due to seeing red and flipping and Knocking somebody out thn repeatedly punching them in the back of the head when they were curled up on the floor Although i encountered no swellingthis time apart from my knuckles

I broke my second metatarsal and had a hairline fracture in my cuboid and navicular bones in my foot just over two years ago. Fractures do swell and bruising may occur also.
If you think its broken I'd definitely go down to A+E and get it X-Rayed though.

Torn ligaments swell as well, but like many people have said just go to A+E and get it looked at

yes it's a break, rather than a device to slow moving objects
