: I took photos of my arm since I cant see it well. Ironically, the bruising is at my elbow and under my wrist, not where the guard ends. So I am beginning to think it twisted now and it wasnt damaged by the wrist guard. Maybe the wrist guard saved my arm from more damage, I dont know. I think the bone is straight but thats as far out as I can twist my forarm so I cant get my hand rotated. I think I should try to move it to get more motion? Sorry its gross looking. I'm losing my muscle in my forarm. I would like to try to move it so it doesnt get any skinnier. Its been 3 1/2 weeks. Think I should try to move it or keep it wrapped still?

 The fact that you have bruising after this long concerns me. Is there some sort of college clinic or something you can go to?

 Nothing that wouldnt leave me with a big debt and I dont earn that much that I want to put all my free pennies into medical bills. But in 3 months I can. I didnt take any OTC yesterday so I think the worst of its healed. Whatever is wrong with it I think they would have to cut it again to repair it. I donno what to do.....

your health is paramount. my advice would be to have it seen to sooner rather than later. can you rotate your hand at all? it does look better now.
on the bright side you could become a freemason, youd be right with the funny handshakes.
if you could get to oz , we could put you up , theres lots of work here too cos our economy is booming.
cheers for now, h .

I am going to call to see how low a payment I can make a month. I dont want to be disabled. Being tiny is enough of a limitation. I hope I dont lose my apartment and my bunnies and piggies. That would rip me up! What pisses me off is that IF I didnt work at all and were single and had a lot of kids, I would get everything almost free. So why SHOULD these people work? I can rotate it inward, but outwards just to a handshake. I cant rotate it palms up to the ceiling, just palms down so 90 degrees I cant move it. Cant decide to live with it and hope for the best, wait, or lose everything.

I have to wait! I called. If you dont have insurance you have to pay IN FULL. Or go to the emergency room which costs $500 just to go. They do payment plans there but its pricey. I dont have enough money right now to cover a drs. visit even cause I cant work if I dont buy gas. So wish me luck, I'll have to deal with the consequences. I can still skate with a lame arm. Maybe no handplants but I'm trying for a one arm push up. Not successful yet but at least I can lower myself without smashing my face. I think its best to try not to think about it. I'm lucky I was born with 2 good arms, now I'm old anyway and should be thankful I can still skate like this.
