Eventually, I noticed the pain was worse when I twisted my arm at the wrist, and I could feel one of the two bones in the forearm hurting more than the other, so I knew I needed to go to the hospital.
When I got there, I had to sit through like half an hour of paperwork, and after that, it took the doctor about 5 minutes to put me on morphine, at which point I just stopped caring about it all
It really sucked the next day, with all the swelling in my arm and hand. I'm right handed, and I broke my right arm, so using computers was awkward for a few weeks after that.
