    Stuck in this weird limbo where I’m really not sure if my arm is fractured or not, some of my symptoms match those of a fracture but the swelling and the bruising aren’t there yet. I’d also be naturally relieved if there wasn’t a fracture but because I’ve been taking care of my arm, the idea that it’s not there makes me feel like I’ve been dramatic. It doesn’t make sense but it’s just me trying to process it all. I also realise if it isn’t fractured I still would have to miss some work and that’s frustrating, might as well just be fractured to justify the time off. lol.

        Yeah, there’s a small amount of swelling but nothing to write home about, the pain is there.

      Kinda had that with one of my ankles. It’s been cracked but not officially broken twice. Loads of weird aches and twinges but no diagnostic specific Thing
