Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having purple bruising on the right biceps following carrying a heavy stone. This indicates a probable hematoma because of impact of the stone. This requires treatment by the use of cold compression and anti-inflammatory drugs.
If there is pain and restriction of movements you need to consult your doctor for examination to rule out deeper in jury in the form of bone fracture or muscle sprain.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
