Can Dark Bruises On The Buttock And Thorax Indicate A Fractured Vertebrate?
My boyfriend was roller blading and fell last weekend. His lower back was hurting and he has developed a very dark bruise on his left buttock and at the thoracic spine area. He told me a few minutes ago that it felt like something popped and his lower back became very hot. Could he have fractured a vertebrae?

Hello,
Its not possible to comment without examining the patient.However I suggest you not to waste your time and get an emergency appointment to check for a fracture if there is a high suspicion.
