That's great news. Sounds like he put on Elastoplast tape to keep everything compact. The only thing going to make it heal is by rest (sure he told you that). Maybe he mentioned heat/cold compresses, that should help the healing process (and eleviate the pain). But if the pain is still there and it hurts to move your arm after a few weeks, you might want to let the Dr know, and a follow up "possible" MRI might be in order. But for now it sound like soft tissue bruising. Best of luck to you!!!!
