Hematoma, torn or just bruised?


Posted by _richie_

I played rugby last night and when i went for a tackle my bicep connected with the guys forearm. Had a bit of pain after the game but gradually got worse.

Theres no bruising on the skin but a lump underneath. Its painful when i straighten my arm or bend completely as well as when i try to flex the bicep.

Thanks for your help

Put ice on  the lump. Keep it wrapped. Keep it elevated and if your looking to thin your blood naturally you should drink green tea. It contains Salicilates which is the natural anti inflammatory & blood thinning agent used to to create aspirin.

Check with your doctor to examine for a correct diagnosis.
