Pope Francis didn't break his arm, but a sling was put on as a precaution, the Vatican says.

On Dec. 7 , the pope whacked his chin on his nightstand in an apparent fall that resulted in a bruise.

The 88-year-old pope often has to use a wheelchair because of bad knees.

Speculation about Francis ' health is a constant in Vatican circles.
