Will The Bruising On Abdomen And Pelvic Area Caused Due To Accident Increase Due To Work Carrying Heavy Loads?

5 evenings ago I was in a serious impact car accident and was bruised on my abdomen and pelvic area. I am significantly overweight and older. I do not have internal pain or any gastrointestinal symptoms. Today the bruises in the pelvic region have merged. They are not hot or hard. I have been walking all week at work and carrying items. Will bruises get bigger and change for a while. A doctor checked them Tuesday and said they would resolve. Does activity increase the size?

No...activities wont increase them...it will take a few weeks to resolve... if you experience pain while lifting heavy weight then refrain for a few days..
