Arm Injury, Bump On Wrist And Elbow. No Pain. Normal?
I hit my right arm on a wood bedframe. A bump appeared midway between my wrist and elbow on the outside bone. Ive broken my left in the same place, so i know what A break feels like. The bump really doesn't hurt that bad. Its bigger than a quarter.
Is it normal for the forearm to make a bump but not necessarily be broken?

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H .C.M. Forum.
Yes, it may be possible to form a large bump due to blunt injury to forearm , even without fracture.
Depends upon ,how injury occurred.
If pointed may pierce the part.
If blunt may form hematoma ( bump ).
If you have any doubt, please get in an X ray of injured forearm.
Consult an orthopaedician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
