What Causes Inexplicable Bruising Around The Ribs And Lower Back Area?
My friend has a history of kidney stones and has been experiencing strong pain for a couple of days like one is trying to pass. Tonight she found that she is bruised around her rib and kidney area without having any fall or bumping into anything. She can t get in to see her Dr. until the morning. Any suggestions?

Hello,
As of now, you can use analgesics/anti-inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/serratiopeptidase for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a physician and get evaluated for bleeding disorders.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
