DJL 235 #1 September 28, 2007 So I took a digger off of jetski going about 60 mph recently and utilized my elbow, forarm, and skull in protecting my brain and spleen from being mashed. That was several weekends ago but I keep having this lump form on my forearm and can feel bumps on the bone below once I massage away the lump. The lump feels like it has the texture of clay and the bone is slightly sore if I really press it. The lump actually feels like it "creaks" a bit while I massage it, like creaking knuckles. So, what's the prognosis. There's also something loose in my elbow but that's for another day. I'm planning on getting set up for a checkout next week although I doubt they can do anything."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freefalle 0 #2 September 28, 2007 one of two things has probably happened first, you may have fractured your arm, only an x-ray will confirm this suspicion. Secondly thought is you have a hematoma which means you broke a vessel below this skin, breaking this vessel allowed pooling of blood beneath the skin causing the lump you see. Hematomas basically happen because there is no laceration to the skin allowing the blood to "drain" outside of the body. Best case, over time the body will absorb the hematoma and it will resolve on its own. Either way, My recommendation is to drag your broken ass to the hospital and get it looked at, if you did in fact fracture your arm without proper attention you can loose function and sensation to your hand and fingers. Hope you fee better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivelynn 1 #6 September 28, 2007 Bad Doug. Was that from Labor day weekend? You went rafting like that? Go to the hospital and get an xray. Make sure you drop the keg off first! See you tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
