Why does my arm hurt a lot after a fall, even though the bone is not injured?
Disease description:
While playing with a friend, I accidentally fell and injured my arm. The bone is fine, but it's very painful. What could be causing this?

This symptom generally occurs due to internal injuries that are not visible, so it's important to go to the hospital for an examination to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. It could also be pain caused by ligament damage. Applying ice within 48 hours of injury can help reduce local pain, and medications for relieving blood stasis may also alleviate discomfort. If the pain persists beyond 48 hours without improvement, a visit to an orthopedic clinic for an MRI is recommended, and surgical intervention may be necessary when indicated.
