Bruise From Elbow To Arm, Occasional Pain. Taking Aspirin. Suggestions?
I have a bruise from my elbow up my outer upper arm about 4inches long and 3 inch wide. It is tender near my elbow. I don't remember doing anything to receive it but do remember my elbow joint catching and when I straightened my arm there was a painful snap. It only hurt for a moment. This happens every once in a while but I've never had a bruise from it. It has been a week and a half and it is still quite blue and purple. I take a low dose aspirin daily.

Patients on low dose aspirin or other anticoagulant it's common to see brusing after minor trauma.
Applying hot fomentation will help in resolution of it.
There is no cause of further concern.
If you develop fresh bruise, Kindly consult your physician and stop aspirin for a week.
Take care
