Pain In The Arm, Numbness In The Fingers After Being Hit. Not Able To Bend The Fingers. What To Do?
Today, I was the at the fair. While I was getting on to a ride, I hit my left elbow on a metal pole and as I hit it a pain shot down my arm and my pinkie and ring finger went numb. As I was getting off the ride I hit it again. Since then, it hurts a lot. I can't bend it nor can I fully straighten it. I've only tried elevating it. What should I do ?

Hi
You had a hit to left elbow while getting a ride in a fair. pain in the arm, and ring and pinky got numb.While getting down you got hit again.as the injury is at the nerve point it is paining so much.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon , taking an xray, exclude the fracture and treat the injury, you will be fine soon.
