10 Broken Elbow Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Tightness in Arm
Given the location of the elbow and its function, it should only be expected that a break can cause symptoms in other parts of the arm as well. Depending on the nature of the break, the patient can feel a tightness in the forearm.
Broken bones can cause the ligaments and muscles in the area to become stretched. This will, in turn, cause a sensation of tightness as tissues are affected. You should always remember to tell medical professionals of any such symptom if you are experiencing it. Doing so can help to ensure that you make a full recovery from the injury.
