Arm pain from backhandspring?

[Lingualatina]

Yesterday I while doing a backhandspring, I jammed one of my arms into the floor, and it started hurting. It was fine, though; I just iced it and I tried to go on bars, our next rotation, but as soon as I hit the extended part of my glide kip, it hurt like crazy, so my coach told me to stretch the rest of practice instead of bars with the rest of the team. I thought it would be okay, because the physical pain wasn't that bad; I just had to ice it a lot. Today, when I woke up, it was worse than ever. I can't straighten it out all the way and I can't bend it all the way. What can I do? I don't want to skip gymnastics; I've already been away for a week because of finals, and I have nationals in less than 3 weeks! At this rate, I can't even do a handstand! Please help!

The only thing I can say is go to the doctor.
