What To Do For The Swelling In The Arm Due To A Hit?

Something very heavy (a display) fell on me at work, and hit my arm where I have a tumor, my body makes them, and I ve had them removed before, but this one didn t hurt so my doctor said he would remove it if it ever bothered me. This happened yesterday and it s swollen and very bruised. Do you think something bad might happen my lower are hurts too, it s kind of achy.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Rajesh Gayakwad's Response

Hi,

If I was treating doctor, I would have advised X-ray of the affected part and advised accordingly. In the meantime, application of cold packs and resting and elevation of affected part would help reduce swelling.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajesh Gayakwad, Orthopedic Surgeon
