that whenever there is something wrong with me it takes forever for doctors to figure out what it is.

as some of u know on monday i was playing basketball (yes i know white men cant jump) and had my legs taken out from under me and landed hard on my arm. i hurt it pretty bad but didnt think to much of it but as everyone else is still playing the pain is getting worse and was getting less and less mobility. 6 hours later i go to the ER pretty swollen, to the point that you cant feel my elbow anymore just fluid. xrays are taken and the doc tells me he cant see a break but based on the swelling he knows there is a break so puts my arm in a splint, gives me some pain killers and sends me on my way.

so friday (yesterday) i go to the orthopedic have more xrays done, once again no sign of a break and i tell him what the ER doc said and his response "thats not true, fluid doesnt mean a break" says he doesnt know whats causing the pain but is sending me for an MRI and hoping that maybe i can get some answers

cliff notes:
i hurt my arm monday, was told it was broken, found out friday its not broken, still in pain, going for MRI wednesday, get results friday

rant off
