I tripped over at work yesterday and I thought I'd hurt my wrist but the pain today is just below my elbow, so I'm off to the doctor and to hopefully get an X-ray. It's my right arm and I'm right handed so that's annoying and my arm is getting sorer and sorer. I'm lucky I filled in an incident form for the fall. I really hope it's not serious but the pain is serious enough I'm worried it is.
I definitely will, I'm back at the doctor on Monday and will make sure he gets the ball rolling, I ended up booking a different doc at the same clinic because the one I saw on Friday truly didn't seem to grasp my job and how much I need to use my arms and lift and how serious an arm injury could be for me.

In my expert opinion you poinged your sproingle and require two weeks paid vacation for oh&s
EDIT: I speak in jest but MAKE SURE you mention to the doctor this was a workplace accident and get the ball running on workcover.
You were injured at work, work pays for it.
