What Treatment Is Suggested For Swelling And Bruise On The Right Side Of Body?
Hi, I fell hard on my right side 4 days ago. It hardly hurt at all. Today I went back to work. At my job I sit for hours on end. After work I noticed that it was swelling and black and blue. As time is going by it is becoming very painful. What could this be about? Thank you!

Hi,
It could be a hematoma. sometimes, hematomas can grow in size during resorption and may pain also. change in colour is due to clearing of blood products. all you need is some pain killers.
if you see further increase in size and pain, consult a surgeon.
Hope this helped.
