I fell on my back skate boarding about 8 days ago and now there are bruises appearing on the front lower part of my stomach. My lower right back is tender and swollen. I am able to twist at the hip and bend forward to stretch it. the bruise it slowly getting bigger. Could this be internal bleeding?

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of an internal bleeding, probably due to the trauma. As you are feeling better and there is no fatigue, low blood pressure or dizziness, these changes could be due to the old blood and the bleeding seems to be stopped. Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and an abdominal ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
