Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Bruised Upper Arm
I have had neck and recently shoulder pain. Rather than surgery on my rotator cuff, I chose therapy. I was improving and then the shoulder started cracking when I moved. Now my tricep (upper arm), is bruising and swollen. I noticed the bruise becoming much larger,most of my upper arm. Why is this happening and should I see a doctor right away?

Hello
Thanks for asking a question at HCM
It is pleasure to help you at this moment
Yes, it is high time you see a doctor now
Sometimes, an internal injury can aggravate when taken other therapies like Physiotherapy.
I do not know what therapy you have taken, but if there is a significant tear, surgery is the best option, it is not major.
Just take second opnion from ortho doctor and decide on the management plan.
Hope this helps!
Best Regards
Dr Chaithanya
