Suggest Cure For Injury To The Right Wrist With Colored Veins
My dad injured his right wrist while moving furniture. He heard a pop and had instant pain. He went to the hospital and had an xray. The doctor said he did not have a fractured wrist, but he thought he tore some ligaments. He has a purple lump at the wrist with a purple line running up his arm. Since the injury, four days ago, the purple line has gotten longer and wider. Any ideas on why that s happening?
