Unfortunately with the Dexamethosone I am on and the 2 blood thinner needles I have to take each day, I bruise VERY easily. Most of the bruises don't hurt. I have been to ER twice over time when my belly swelled really bad. I had a blood accumulation once so bad it was hot red, swollen and had to have the blood released by needle suckers to get rid of the pressure. Wasn't fun. The second time at ER doc said I had to just let it settle down on t's own and did nothing, it wasn't red and hot tho, just dark and huge.
Right now I have a horribly painful left side. it's hard as a rock and the bruising keeps spreading. I've been taking extra strength tylenol and some morphine. I also put a wet facecloth in a sandwich bag, freeze it and put it on the bruise. It is SO HUGE!! Hurts so bad.
Taking it easy today hopefully the hard blood accumulation in my tummy will start to soften, absorb into my tummy and go away soon.
I am so sorry for your pain. Sharen.
