My fore arm is heavily swelled up. It is 30-40% bigger than before. Bruises and spots have develped on my bicep. What may this be diagnosed as? How may I treat this?

Hi. Thanks for the query. Sorry to know that you experienced a fall. The bruise you see on you forearm and arm are due to trauma to the tissues and collection of blood beneath the skin which will disappear in a few days. But looking at the description of the swelling, there are possibilities that it might be a compartment syndrome. I would suggest you to contact a surgeon and get it checked as soon as possible.
