I have an appoitment with the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow.

The theory is that it's a fractured radial head. It explains the excruciating pain and the only thing they saw on the x-ray: fat packs around that area. However, there was no swelling besides that and they couldn't see the fracture, so the plan is an MRI tomorrow.

So it could go either way now: simple fracture and a cast, or there's additional tissue damage that would require something more invasive like surgery, but again, the lack of swelling is encouraging.
