Question 8

why might adult bruise very easily? often have bruises on legs of unknown origin. is ther treatment?

Accepted Answer

Many possible causes: Many conditions can cause easy bruising in adults. A doctor's evaluation will help figure out the problem. Possible causes include:  low platelets due to auto-immune destruction of platelets or due to problems making new platelets, blood cancers such as leukemia, clotting problems due to medications like aspirin, fragile capillary blood vessels, etc...  Treatments are usually available.

Question 9

what's the treatment for the bruise by a rubber bullet? nobody wants to go to the er (due to covid), and rubber bullets don't break the skin, right? what's the home treatment?

Accepted Answer

Patience: A bruise that does not otherwise interfere with function of a limb or organ can be left alone to self heal. It will go through color change over time &amp; the body should process any broken blood vessels for self repair over a 2-4 wk period. If there is loss of function a virtual consult with your doc would be the next level to consider.

Question 10

is cast appropriate treatment for bone bruise of the metacarpals ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A bone bruise, as opposed to a bone fracture, does not need to be put in a cast in the sense of protection from displacement.  But a cast can be useful to control swelling, potentially help with pain, and may make the hand more functional while you are recovering.  I certainly would discuss with your doctor the different options for immobilization that are available.
