Arm injury
I had fallen down indoors and injured my right arm. There was no external injury. I did an xray to confirm the presence of bone injury but there is none according to the report. The pain has subsided by a lot but there is a strange pulling pain when I use the arm for normal tasks, also while I walk the hanging position hurts. If I keep the arm straight and in complete resting position, i.e. straight beside me while lying down, it provides a little relief just for those periods of time. Kindly help me out with a guideline for proper care.
