Suggest Treatment For Upper Arm Bruising Caused By A Fall
I slipped and fell on ice and landed on my elbow and shoulder of my left arm on Sat.. There was major pain for the next two days and it has subsided considerably since but I still have slight pain when I elevate my arm while sitting. The upper arm shows bruising. should I be heating the affected area or icing it? I have been taking ibuprofen.

Hi,
It seems that you got muscle strain with extravasation of blood in that area due to some capillaries damage.
Continue taking ibuprofen.
If require go for muscle relaxant medicine for 2-3 days.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
Ok and take care.

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
When you fell on ice, you will have an injury, a ice burn, and probably a fracture.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and then periodically, vitamin D, and calcium supplements.Ofloxacin and pain killers when ever there is pain.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods.
wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
