Are Anti-inflammatory Pills Advisable For A Reddish Bruise On The Right Bicep?
Hello, I have injuries my right bicep from getting punched many times on the same spot after playing a game with my friend. The bruising travels right around my arm as far down as my elbow which is a reddish pink color now. Where I was actually getting hit isn t brusied that much but the surrounding tissue and skin where there is more fat tissue seems to have take most of the damage. To me it looks almost like a blood cloth as I ve had one before in my leg. Was wondering could you give me advice for steps to take in the healing process. Would I need anti inflammatory tablets? Thanks,Peter
You have a bruise and soft tissue injury of the biceps area and elbow. Please take analgesics only if the pain is more as they have no role in the healing processes. To decrease edema and clotting I would suggest you take tablets containing enzymes like trypsin and bromelain. Tablet Phlogam or tablet Disperzyme. They are tablets MEABT to decrease the swelling. It will heal in about a week.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
