What Causes Pain And Difficulty In Movement In My Arm After A Fall?
I fell in my basketball game earlier, and I hurt my arm, it s not bruised I don t think, and it s not broken. Although it hurts when I touch it, and slightly move it in certain directions, to top it off it keeps twitching, what could this be? Should I be worried ?

Dear patient
You have got blunt trauma to your arm with contusion. I would advise Xray of involved arm anteroposterior and lateral views to rule out bony abnormalities. If it's normal fracture is ruled out. Apply ice packs on swelling frequently. Start tab diclofenac plus serratiopeptodase combination twice a day for 7 days. Keep limb elevated. This will relieve you of pain and swelling. All the best.
