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.
What Does Swelling In The Arm Indicate After The Injury?
I was in a small car accident two days ago and bumped my arm. It s slightly bruised, only tender to the touch, and i still have full function, but there is a decent sized lump that hasn t gone away and swelling won t go down despite icing on and off. Do i have cause for concern?
Hi, From history as movements on affected part are normal there is possibility of formation of hematoma following injury. Continue ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days. Gradually it will absorbed. Ok and take care.
