HI, I went to get on a rocking chair to water my plant and the rocker moved, i went to catch myself from falling on my face, my arm went way way forward and stretched the crap out of, hurt like hell, and is now hot pink with a side of purple, different shades and swollen i did not go to the doctor yet it happened on tuesday 2 days ago
Hi.noted history of swollen arm and trauma. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably an orthopedic or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation, especially if the swelling and pain are persistent. If it's just an inflammatory reaction, the swelling will eventually subside in a few days time. Fractures must also be ruled-out. Diagnostics, such as X-ray, will be requested for further investigation. Management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Cold compress and pain relievers may help alleviate the symptoms for now. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
