Suggest Treatment For Painful Arm After An Injury
I fell nearly 3 weeks ago and my arm hit the top of a chest of drawers, the arm was very badly bruised and took 10 days for the bruising to go away. My arm is still painful when i do certain jobs with it, I m that I may have chipped a bone or something, what do you think. Amanda

Hi,
Bone chipping is very unlikely in your case since you have been working with this arm for nearly 3 weeks. It is likely to be a muscle contusion and it may take longer to heal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Gopal Goel
