Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Hip Post An Accident
I fell and injured my hip nine days ago. It is feeling better but a bruise appeared a few days after I fell and the bruise keeps getting larger and larger from one day to the next. Is this normal or a sign of something more serious than just a bruise?

Hello,
You should keep a bruise with cold compresses resses in order to help to heal. It should not get larger as time passes but it can change color from red to brown-black to green and yellow.
Do a total blood count and platelets count to check blood coagulation problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
