What Causes Right Abdomen Pain And Bruising With High White Blood Count?
hi... i have recently been in and out of the dr/er for a pain on my right abdemen (about 2 weeks ago)... this morning i noticed a quarter size bruise at the site where it's been hurting. I have done nothing to that area to get a bruise... i'm concerned. They threw out appendicitus and gall blatter but sonograms and bloodwork came out clear for that and all the test showed was high white blood count - gave me antibiotics as a trial run to see if pain went away. I'm still not 100% well... and with this i'm just a tad bit concerned... Should I be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Yes, you should be concerned as there is a bruise at a spot where you have pain in abdomen for the last 2 weeks and your white cell count is raised,.
History of Appendectomy and removal of the gall bladder and ultrasonography later noted.
The possible diagnosis is a development of cellulitis and / or an abscess at this site under the skin.
I would advise you the following:
Get a clinical evaluation and physical examination to see for the abscess development, If positive get operated as the pus has to be drained.,
Also get a course of an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory medicines like Ibuprofen
