Please have her get medical attention. If the arm was already broken there's a much stronger chance of breaking it again, getting a hairline fracture or worse, she could have developed a clot. You can read up on the clotting (DVT's) and check the symptoms, if she thinks she has a clot - waste no time in getting emergency medical help please!

That site will better describe the symptoms and forewarn you and her as to the seriousness of a clot.
Good luck!
Honey, I think she needs to call her mom and dad. She may have hurt it real bad and they need to get her to the hospital for X-rays. In the mean time she can put a ice-pack on it for the swelling. I wish y'all luck.
