What Causes Painful Arm Movements After An Injury?
Hello, i was in a motorcycle accident on the 9th, a week ago today. I recieved road rash primarily on my upper right forearm. new skin has already began to grow. What i am more concerned about it not being able to extend my arm fully without feeling a sharp pain. The pain is primarily felt on the upper/inside of my elbow. I did not go seek medical attention due to not having health insurance. Should i be concerned or will it heal naturally?
