Answers:
Ice 20 min. on 20 min. off. Rest. Maybe an ACE bandage, try a sling and GET TO A DOCTOR. You need to have an x-ray. Sorry you have had such a bad experience with this fall. Get better soon.

Good luck!

Edit: You have to be sensible. What is more important.? A couple of games now or being able to play your favorite sports the rest of your life after recovering. My daughter did the same thing with an injury. She didn't tell me about it and kept playing basketball injured. In the long run because she kept playing she ended up having knee surgery in the spring. And she missed the spring soccer season all together. If she had told me about it she may have just missed the first couple of games. She learned a valuable lesson. I hope you can learn from her mistake.Health Question & Answer

No, don't go to a doctor. That would be stupid. Keep on playing. You might get two or three more games in before you do permanent damage, and never get to play again. When you are forty, with a bad arm, you can look back on how you had to stop playing sports as a kid, because you didn't want to see a doctor. Cool!Health Question & Answer
