A member asked:
I work at a post office where i use my hands and wrist often. today i noticed a bruise above my right wrist. i lift alot of stuff. what could it be?

Bruise: Repetitive work by hands is very common reason of tendon, muscle strains. Blood vessels in area can also sometime break and create hematoma/ bruise - blue , tender area. Best is to place ice ASAP for 10 minutes at the time over towel.You may use wrist brace for work as support if lifting and frequent handling is required. Also may use ARNICA gel for gentle massage and comfort.
