Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, it is possible to break a bone or pull a muscle if a person slips on a ground or ice. Broken bone is very painful and makes it impossible to walk. You would know for sure if that was the case.
Much more common is to pull a muscle or joint. You would still be able to walk, but it would hurt. In any case you do need to talk to the general practitioner that treats your family or the one available at school.
If you go back to intensive physical exercise, like cheerleading, if the pain does not go away in a few days, you might cause more damage that could turn out very serious.
Finally, arthritis is a term that includes a number of conditions that affect joints. Most of the diseases that are included under the umbrella term of arthritis, have a gradual onset and manifest in older age.
