Should I Be Worried About Swelling And Purple Color In Left Hand?

My 18 year old son has congenital aortic stenosis, and had a Ross procedure 8 years ago. He has heart monitoring once a year. Today we noticed that his left arm is slightly swollen and more purple than the other, but no pain. Is this anything to worry about?

Hi,

I think there is nothing serious.
Maybe he had some injury.
I would advise you to put som cold on his arm and try not to move it much.
In case he has severe pain in his arm, refer to emergency.

Hope I could help you

Wishing your son a good health
