Possible Fractured Elbow?

About a week and a half ago I slipped on some ice and hit my arm and elbow pretty hard on the pavement, I went to the ER for X-rays they said I could have a fractured elbow so to be safe the put me in a splint for my arm. I went and saw a orthopedist on Wednesday and he took the splint off, and looked at my x-ray's and said there wasn't anything jumping out at him to warrant any further concern. He told me to call back in a week if my arm was not getting better. Here's my concern, I can move my arm almost perfectly normal, but there is still pain in my forearm when when I twist my wrist as well as pain in my wrist, and also when I bend my arm at the elbow there is still pain not immense pain, but pain nevertheless, I thought the pain would slowly disappear but it is always there when I do the above motions, what should I do? When answering please don't give me a GO TO THE DR. ASAP, I would like a well-thought out answer with some good advice! Thanks everyone!!!
