Q: ok i injured my elbow badly a few days ago. im not sure whats wrong. my arm was purple and freezing a few minutes ago, so i moved it (it hurt really bad) but i got circulation back in it. theres a deepish cut on my elbow from my fall and it was scabbed. the scab fell off so i put bactine on it. i dunno whats wrong. i looked up some of my symptoms (tingling arm, tight feeling, etc.)n it said it could be nerve damage. like whenever i turn my elbow it cracks but the other doesnt. it hurts so bad to move it. i dont know what to do right now im scared. tomorrow is school but im not sure if i need to go to the doctor. please help me out. if you need any other info i'll add it in the additional info thing. thank u soo much

It sounds to me like you may have dislocated the joint or fractured somthing. Sometimes you can have a fracture, not a break, and the joint will still move normally, but hurt like hell. You really need to go see a doctor. I wouldn't wait. The purple colour makes me worry, as well. You have a cut and the colour may be infectious inflammation, which bactine will not help at this point. You may need antibiotics. I don't want ot scare you, but I work in nursing and I insist you seek medical attention immediately.
