Whether ER Visit Is Recommended For Fall?
I fell on the ice today. About 2 hours ago. I am 48 and in good health. I hit my head pretty hard. The lump on my head is about 3 inches in diameter. I also landed on my elbow. I can move my wrist and fingers, but can not straighten my arm all the way nor can I bend it all the way. I am sore all over but not experiencing blurred vision or any other negative affects. Is an ER visit recommended? Thanks

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Certainly yes....
You need urgent x-rays of the affected parts and CT scan for brain.
Till then keep the affected limb in a sling, do not move it at all.
There may be a fracture
