Re: Broken arm.. To play or not?!
Get a doc's opinion on you playing. No reason to eff up your arm for life to play in a few games. A lot of times you can get some sort of cast to cover it up which can help.Originally posted by MrCheeks

If you don't mind the risk of severely injuring your arm, then go ahead. Who really needs 4 functional limbs anyway?
By the way, how do you suck it up and play when a bone in the arm can not articulate with the carpals/humerus?

definitely worth it, it's you senior yea...your year. Now if it was a broken elbow then you might not want to, a kid on my team broke his and tried to play (ILB actually) and now he can't completely straighten his arm like on benchpress and stuff that he has to straighten it like that. But I'd support your decision to play definitely.

I wouldn't do it. Not worth messing up your rm to play highschool ball. Give it a few weeks get new X-rays and see how it's healing.

Go see a SPORTS doctor and ask for his advice.

Re: Broken arm.. To play or not?!
In my opinion, it all really depends on your situation and how you feel. Do you think you have something going for you in high school football? If you were to keep going could you get a scholarship to college or something? If you don't really have a chance to get advance to the next level, I don't think it's worth possibly hurting yourself worst. If you think you can play, and you want to play, then maybe you should play whether you have something big going for you or not, but you should keep a doctor's opinion in mind. If you do try to play, try to get a cast and protect it, try to keep your arm out of harms way.Originally posted by MrCheeks

Go get second opinion or if you paly and it doesnt heal right they have to break your arm again. My friend broke his arm played hockey and they had to break it again.
One more thing my qb on my football team 2 years ago broke his elbow in the beggining of a game and played the whole game with it broken5'10
