Today i fell off my bike and banged up my arm. At first it hurt but was fairly movable although I didnt try and straighten the arm completely.
I bandaged myself up, then sat down to watch a movie. The arm still hurts but not badly, however now the elbow is less flexible.skin color is normal, swelling very mild (hard to notice at all) How can I tell if my elbow is broken or sprained? If i suspect it may be broken, how immediate must I be to visit a doctor/hospital? What would happen if I waited 24-48 hours before seeing a doctor?

 Dear Budleiser,
If you suspect that your arm is broken, do not wait and go to have an x-ray of your arm immediately.
Thank you very much for using our website http://doctorslounge.com and i hope that this information helped.
