What Causes Severe Pain In The Shoulder And Hip Of An Elderly Person?
My grandma is a 71 year old who is still very active and healthy. She has been having hip pain which is now in her shoulder. The weird part is she has not bumped or hit her arm and also does not have paper thin skin as some elderly people do. It started out as a small blue/purple spot and it has spread. almost looks as if something has busted or is bleeding internally in her arm. She refuses to see a doctor so I am very concerned as to what this may be. Thanks so much
