if it was broken, you would know. go to a doctor; i'd think that would be the obvious choice.
OUCH!! Well, if you can move it without SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much pain, you might've sprained it... if it hurts like crazy to move it, you most likely broke it or fractured it. But there's no way in telling for sure. You should just go to the doctor and get an X-ray. I broke my foot once and I thought it was a sprain.... until my Mom forced me to get an X-ray. We figured out I had broken my foot! So to be on the safe side, an X-ray is a good option.
wel if you are physically unable to move your arm at all then it's broken, but if you can move it and it just hurts a lot then it is most likely sprained. In both cases you should probably seek medical attention to prevent it from getting worse.
Go to the doctor, get an xray. No way to tell for sure without one. Besides if it's not broken it might still be fractured.
go to the doctor dude. Have a check up once.
