What Causes Pain In Arm After Falling And Landing On It?
Hello. Yesterday, I was jumping on my trampoline and lunges forward, and put my arm straight in front of me to try and stop the fall and heard a loud crack in my arm. It wasn t sever severe pain, but it hurt pretty bad and I m not sure what the problem is. It feels weird when I move my arm certain ways. It was my right arm.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement, Dr. Saurabh Gupta's Response
Hello, Thanks for your query. It might be soft tissue injury or fracture. Without X-ray, it is difficult to differentiate a fracture from others. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. In the interim,apply ice packs to the affected area,anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid lifting and rest well.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
