Question
I'm 21. Fractured both the radius and ulna of my right arm on 18 June 2010 after a fall. The next day I got 2 metal on both bone 1 for each with 6 screws per metal plate. The plates will be removed after a year. Later that year on November I hit my arm so hard on another persons arm from which I heard a snap from my elbow and had severe pain on my elbow, I had the pain running from my shoulder to my middle finger. I was fine a month later. And again on 1st January 2011 I got this pain after a snap again while I climbed the wall on my frontyard. What is this pain? How could i get rid of this pain. It's a pain I just couldn't bear.

Answer
Ahmed,

Sounds like you might have significantly re-injured your arm, possibly dislodging the screws and metal plates, or even suffering another fracture.  It is also possible that you had a non-union or a non-healed fracture.

Either way, I think that what you need to do is contact your medical doctor who did the surgery and have him/her take a look at it.
