my mom has bruising from her elbow to her shoulder, a lot of swelling. She claims she didn t fall, only lifted a case of bottled water out of her car. She went to the emergency room today but didn t get any answers from the doctor she saw. She has feeling in her fingertips. She is 80 years old. Any idea what might have caused this?
It may be post traumatic ecchymosis. Do not worry, it may vanish within few days to few weeks. You may do cold compresses. Give her vitamin C tablets or lemon juice frequently.
However, you consult the doctor nearby you for the medical treatment.
