How Long Will A Bruise On The Back Take To Go Away When There Is No Fracture?
I fell on my back and hit the edge of the sofa and now I have a bruise on my back and it still hurts after 8 days. I went to the ER and they said I have no fractures. I am slightly short of breath as well. How long does it take for the pain to go away. The pain is only when I get up from a chair and I can walk without pain.
HI Thank for asking to HCM soft tissue injury is common in such accident, and it takes couple of week to come around, with the medicine, but still I would advise you to have x-ray of you back for safe side, take care and good day.
