Pain in my upper left arm

Two weeks ago i fell full force on my left arm on a wooden floor. I have a huge bruise on my elbow and limited movement. I still cant lift it above my shoulder without using my other hand for support. I cant lie on my left side and my arm aches constantly like toothache. Will it ever get better?

I think you should have had an x-ray - just in case you have a damaged bone.

Have you come to the wrong forum? This one is for thyroid conditions. In any case, go immediately to your GP to get it properly assessed.

Did you seek any medical attention at the time? See your GP asap, for examination, possibly xray, diagnosis and advice.

Is there a Walk - In medical centre where you live or a Minor Injuries unit attached to a local hospital?

Go to hospital for an X-ray.
