Hello,

Welcome to Just Answer.

Did you get it checked by doctor?

Was any test done?

Is there any swelling, tenderness?

Thank you.

Customer replied 369 days and 7 hours ago.

Have not seen a doctor.

no swelling.

some tenderness and (i think) sub-surface bruising at the spot I fell on my outer left arm, about 3-4 inches above my elbow.

Thank you for the information,

Numb feeling of the arm seems to be due to injury to nerve.

Radial nerve passes about 3-4 inches above my elbow.

There can be crack in the bone too though you do not have apparent swelling.

I would advise to get an examination by doctor.

You need X ray/ scan or other tests.

Till you see doctor you need to keep the arm at rest.

I hope this information helps.

I will be happy to assist, if you need any clarification.

Please feel free for any follow up query.

Regards.
