Suggest Treatment For Bruising On The Inside Of Abdomen In An Elderly Person
My mother woke up this morning with an odd bruise in the middle of her abdomen - but it is red so it does really look like a bruise, almost like bruising may be on the inside. There is a small knot and she does not know how she could have done anything, unless it was from lifting something yesterday. She is 81 years old.
