What Causes Painful Elbow After An Injury?
Hello,
I was skateboarding and fell on my left wrist. When i fell i bent my wrist back (hyper-extension). After i first fell it hurt badly, but not horribly.
I know feel the pain even more, but especially in my elbow. I now can not bend my elbow to strecth my arm completely straight or to bend completly. It also hurts when i twist my forearm/wrist.
What should i do... Is it sprained or broken?
