I slipped on the ice and hurt my arm 6 months ago...?

It took about 2 weeks to heal properly but has been hurting again for the past 4 months or so. Could i have caused some sort of long term damage? If so, what could it be and is it worth going to the doc ro will they just fob me off?

    Clairey--

    You are not giving us a lot of detail here on where on your arm the injury was or the type of pain you are experiencing --I assume is in the same location as the original injury. Six months should have been enough time for the original injury to heal--even if you had a small fracture. OTH I still have some pain in a broken arm which was treated surgically several years after the original injury.

    I don't think your doctor will fob you off, since you are still experiencing pain I would get it checked out. He will probably order X-rays and you can take it from there.

    hmm, i think you should inform your doctor about it, becuase maybe in the x0ray they missed something and your arm isnt completley healed yet? ., its the safest way to go.

    you shouldnt leave it , incase it gets worse , or already has gotten worse .

    so yeah jus inform your doctor and let him take a look at it, or get another x-ray :)

    gooodluck thoo, best wishess.
