Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
was getting into the bathtub and held on to a bar to lower myself down. The next day my forearm was hurting some. It has been about a month and my arm continues to hurt. It feels like its bruised but there is no discoloration. I am a female 67 yrs old and in good health.
Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using cold compresses for local application. I also suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain. If the pain continues, I suggest to do an X-ray for further evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
