What Is The Bruise And Swelling On My Right Arm?
I think I have a torn muscle. My left arm feels bruised by the elbow and it feels like a long swollen thing (for lack of a better word..it s not a bump) It feels bruised right to the middle of my forearm and just up to the right side of my elbow. it is a muscle tear? I can still move with out pain...it s only when I touch it.

Hello,
It is quite common after blunt trauma. It is nothing but an extravasated blood underneath the skin. Generally it will settle by itself.
If persist you can consult a physician and get evaluated. In that case We have to rule out possible causes like bleeding disorders.
Hope I have answered your queries. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
