What Causes Bruising On Wrist After Over Stretching A Tendon?

Hi, I have over stretched a tendon in my left arm some years back, I'm now still having problems with it, when I stretch it for any reason my arm comes out in bruises and my wrist swells up from to time to time, I also get a bad ache in it. What could this be? Thank you. Jo

Hi,

In my opinion your past injury is accompanied by a new vascular injury that causes hematomas under your skin or you have a sort of cyst or ganglia in your wrist joint that compresses your blood vessels I suggest Doppler and MRI and x-rays for proper diagnosis. For now I suggest you elevate it, use anti hematoma creams with bruises with some hot massaging will help. Please consider a 5 star rating with some positive feedback if the information was helpful.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards,
