Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on your description, it states that you have broken bone in the right forearm. If you do not get it evaluated and treated properly, it could result in mal-union of the broken bone.
You need to take an x-ray of the region immediately and consult Orthopedician for clinical evaluation.
In case the fracture can be reduced without surgery, it can be done under closed reduction.
If the fracture seems to be complicated, then open reduction and fixation as necessary needs to be done by means of surgery.
It is advisable not to neglect as it could result in irreparable complications.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr.Ashakiran.S.
