What Causes Pain In Elbow After An Injury?

Hello, Earlier today I fell and broke my fall by putting out my bent arm. Immediately afterward I was sore, not unexpected but as the day has gone on my shoulder/elbow have become increasing sore and I have very limited range of motion. When I move the wrong way I feel a lot of pain like a spasm where for a brief moment I can t move the arm at all. I was wearing a very heavy coat and a sweater. Is it possible that it is just very bruised?

yes it is more likely a bruise. you can apply cold pack for relief. if the pain increases then u might need further investigation, like X-ray.
