Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got huge bruises without any reason I think you need to do your bleeding and clotting time, and you need to be investigated for bleeding disorders. You can take analgesic such as diclofenac for pain relief. Further treatment will be done after investigation till then you are advised rest. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
