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.
Serious Bruise And Swelling Of The Inside Of My Left
Serious bruise and swelling of the inside of my left forearm,one week ago, from a fall. There was skin peeling of about 3 to 4 inches long, several layers deep. I was seen at an ER and it was dressed, no fracture, I'm on Coumadin and the swelling has not gone down with daily icing. Over night the skin tightens, significantly, and loosens with Ice, during the day.
Doctor's appointments are not available until next week. How long should this last?
