Suggest Treatment For Arm Pain
Good evening !
First and foremost I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read and hopefully answer my question.
I'm 22 years old (female) and had a compound fracture at the age of 13 on my forearm. Therefore, I had metal plates put in. For the past 2 days, my arm has been hurting me a lot. I cannot describe the pain maybe as if the pulse has increased only in this arm and it feels cold inside. If I rotate my palms facing the ceiling/sky the pain increases! I don't know if I should go to the hospital to check this out immediately. (I don't have insurance.) :'( I'm scared. I hope one of you has an answer for me!!

Hi, there!
You didnt tell about injuries or hard working with Your hand this week!
Its unclear about metal constructions - are they still in Your bone?
Presence of metal is risk of bone infection!
Its better to visit hospital and get to know, whats wrong
I hope this helps
