Suggest Treatment For Bruise And Swelling In Chest After Hitting
2 days ago I was hit in the chest by a hook that was pulled from the ceiling by a resistance band pulled at full resistance. Similar to a hit from a sling shot. There was no penetration but the area and surrounding began to bruise and swell immediately. Could I have done damage that requires doctors attention?
