Hello the other day I fell. That night I felt tingly feeling along with my fingers going cold. There was swelling in my elbow and side arm. I couldn't go to sleep at all. The next morning my arm was swollen and look to be purplish my fingers were swollen I tried to move my hand when I couldn't bend them all the way. If I try to bend my fingers my hand will become white. With the swelling there is numbness. I have tingly feeling in my arm and down my back. I am not sure what it is. I talked to someone and they said that I could a bruised my arm but it does not feel like that. Can you help me try to figure out what could possibly be causing this?

There might be a fracture. You will need to do an x-ray. And physical examination is necessary. Go to an orthopedician. In the meantime do not move your arm. Just try to move your fingers only. And apply ice on the swollen area.
