Is A Large Bruise On The Arm Post Injury A Concern?
My mother in law fell Saturday on her elbow - we took her to the ER and they did x-rays - said it wasn t broken and pretty much sent her home. Well now her arm is bruising real bad all the way down to her hand / fingers. We called a nurse hotline and they just said to keep it elevated. Should we be worried?

Dear patient
there is nothing to worry if Xray is normal. Little bruising is common due to fall and injury to minor blood vessels with brushing and contusions. Do Ice fomentation frequently. Taking tab chymoral forte thrice a day before meals to reduce swelling.Wear crepe bandage on the elbow. You will be fine in few days.
