What Treatment Is Suggested For Bruise On The Elbow?
Last night I fell off of a swivel chair and received some nasty bruises on my elbow, hip and the pad of my right foot. In just about five hours, the bruises have gone from red, to purple to greenish and are currently yellow brown. Should I be concerned about this?

Hello,
It is probably just regular bruising, however, if you are having severe pain, extreme swelling or trouble walking or using your arm then you should be checked by a doctor to rule out fracture.
