Should I Be Concerned As I Am Having Bruising And Swelling After A Fall?
I slipped on the ice and fell down my concrete steps (just two) but hit my back on the edge of the stair. I have a large bruise and some swelling but the bruise is hot. Is this normal body response to the injury/inflammation or should i be concerned?

if the swelling gradually subsides within 48 hours then it is normal.But watch out for increase pain and swelling and also fever ,then you will need further evaluataion by a doctor
