Hello,
Thanks for your query.
After going through your query I came to know that you got injury of your left forearm.
It may be fracture of ulna bone which can be ruled out by doing x-ray of left forearm bone AP and lateral view.
Till then it should be empirically treated as soft tissue injury right forearm .
1.Keep limb elevated.
2.Sling can be worn.
3..Do active movements of fingers to reduce swelling.
4.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
3.Analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals)give relief.
5.Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C help in healing.
6.Ice fomentation may be of help.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
I do hope that you have found something helpful.
If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
