Shoulder and elbow pain

I was hit by a car last weekend, with no immediate injuries. My left hand, elbow and shoulder are stiff and I have had severe pain in my shoulder and elbow. My dr has said I have damaged my bicep tendon. Is there a possibility of a fracture somehere in my arm? I can't pinpoint where the pain is.

Hello!

You have to apply ice packs and take NSAIDs to decrease the pain and inflammation.

Go for an X-ray scan and follow up with an orthopedician if you have any injury.

Take care!
