What Causes Pain And Bruising In Left Arm After Getting Cut?

Hi, a week and a half ago I cut my left hand doing yard work and its a pretty nasty cut, last Thursday I noticed my left arm felt sore then Sunday morning I woke up with bruises all over the top half of my arm. The pain and bruises have slowly spread since then. Could my cut be the reason for this or is it something else?

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Pain and spreading bruises could be due to associated inflammation around the cut. So cut could be the reason. I suggest you to get it examined by your doctor and rule out any infection.
Hope this helps.
Warm Regards.
