I recently fractured my 3rd metacarpal on my left hand about 2 months ago. Now I have a ache in my ulna near my elbow.

Is it possible for it to be fractured? Like a stress fracture from the one that happened in my hand? I need to know if I need to go to the er if this is as bad as it sounds, do I need to get it checked on?

You possibly could have. The ER is not the place to go though. That should be used for emergencies. Hence the name. I would make an appointment with your own physician or go to a walk in clinic. If it was part of the same injury then the bone would most likely be healed anyway. Might be healed wrong... but it would be healed. If it is a bad break then they might have to re-break it. Again, Not something they will do in the emergency room.

A fracture may happen if you got a heavy blow on the ulna. However, the pains may be due to the amount of strain placed on the arm. Therefore, it is better to see a doctor for an examination or possible X-Ray.
