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.
Will The Bruising On Abdomen And Pelvic Area Caused Due To Accident Increase Due To Work Carrying Heavy Loads?
5 evenings ago I was in a serious impact car accident and was bruised on my abdomen and pelvic area. I am significantly overweight and older. I do not have internal pain or any gastrointestinal symptoms. Today the bruises in the pelvic region have merged. They are not hot or hard. I have been walking all week at work and carrying items. Will bruises get bigger and change for a while. A doctor checked them Tuesday and said they would resolve. Does activity increase the size?
No...activities wont increase them...it will take a few weeks to resolve... if you experience pain while lifting heavy weight then refrain for a few days..
