Did I break my arm?

that sounds broke to me

The only broken bone I've knowingly had was a hairline fracture of left pinky. I was 14. They showed me the x-ray and pointed out the fracture. I couldn't detect what they were referring to. They showed me again, I couldn't see. I was not in major pain, that's for sure. They put some tape in the hand and told me to keep it there a few days.

I've had a bunch of accidents. Lucky not to have had fractures. I do get my calcium in my diet and bone integrity scans show I'm doing well. Some of the things that happened to me would have crippled other people.

I've never broken a bone either, except for a fracture in my right elbow. When I was younger (around middle school), some friends and I were wrestling on a trampoline. I was lying on my stomach, and one of my fatter friends jumped up and landed on my elbow when I had it extended and facing up, so he basically made it bend backwards. I tried to hide it from my mom but she eventually noticed (and luckily didn't ban me from playing on trampolines as I thought she would.) I just had to wear a sling for a couple of weeks, so it wasn't too bad.

One of my so-called friends (a kid my age in the neighborhood) while we were playing in my yard swung a golf club and struck me in the elbow from behind. Hurt like hell, bled and left a scar, but AFAIK it didn't break anything. Your story brought that back, I hadn't recalled that for decades and probably never would have if I hadn't just now read your story.

Well heck. Entirely coincidentally, during dinner last night my arm caught the attention of my wife. She made the comment that all my scrapes had finally healed, then she noticed the lump. "What's that?" I explained that I'm ok, but she remains unconvinced.
