Is It Safe To Take Plavix For Bruised Shoulder?
I fell down the last two steps a week ago and thought I felt o.k. I am having sharp pain that is in my back below the shoulder. This is a place I hit when I fell and have a rather large bruise in that area. I bruise easily because I am on Plavix. Really thought I was ok why would pain start now/

Hi!
I read carefully your query!
I think that you should take Plavix for another problem that you have of heart or cerebral disease or something else.
First of all you should chest X-ray,spine X-ray and abdominal ultrasound to exclude any fracture or internal organ rupture.
If you have not anything that described above you may take pain killer and every thing will be okay.
Wishing you fast recovery.
