Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I do not think that you can have a broken blood vessel in your arm. You may be having hematoma due to collection of blood in skin or subcutaneous tissue . You need to apply hot water fomentation, compression bandage and take voveron tablet twice daily.
If there is no decrease in size of the swelling then you can get a physcian opinion. But I can assure you that it is not a broken vessel.
I find this answer helpful
