Need proposal on how to treat a thoughtful tissue bruise?
I had a car misfortune almost 2 months ago, and received a couple broken bones-heel, hand, and a deep tissue bruise on right chest. X-rays be taken and the ER doc, my reg doc, & ortho doc all examined and told me it was only a deep tissue bruise and would take time to treat. I've been told use ice, use bake than ice, and leave it alone. It still is tender to the touch and sometimes it hurts. It's still purple and stillI own a huge bump on my chest. It is going down. Any suggestions for treating. Should I go back to the doctor?
Answer: Your body will eventually hold your attention the blood that is causing the bruise and it does thieve time, especially a large bruise. To help it along, use moist grill, not dry heat. Take a small towel, soak it with hot marine, ring it out then apply to the bruised area. Do this several times and at lowest possible two times a day. Should get rid of the bump and bruise within a short time. Going back to the Doctors won't minister to either because there is zilch they can do for it. Now in another month if that isn't feeling any better and the bruise gone, you might want to hold them check deeper into what it really is, but I think they are right what they told you now. Be long-suffering and thankful that things weren't worse from the accident. Best of luck to you infantile lady. Hope things mend quickly for you.
