Bruises On Left Side, Inside Of Left Arm. Reason, Should I Be Worried?
I have two unexplained bruises on my lh side and one on the inside of my lh arm just above my elbow . One of the two on my side, has intensified this week into a deeper purple color and it s size it has grown to be nearly as big as a quarter. The two on my side are about two inches above my beltline. There s no noticable pain with any of these. I work in a countertop mfg plant with moderate labor/ lifting. I m 49 yr old. Should I be concerned about this?
