sugarplum Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Hello, I am not a medical student but thought maybe you can help. I work in camp and a milk crate I was sitting on broke and I landed on the floor on my tail bone and smacked my arm on another crate on the way down. I didn't think I was injured because I didn't fall far. I just laughed it off but now, 2 days later, my back is feeling increasingly worse and I can tell from the bruise on my arm that I had hit the main artery on the underside of my forearm and the bruise is spreading quite a lot. Some of the connecting veins are turning light brown. Should I be concerned about this? I don't want to say anything to my bosses unless it's serious because I can get in a lot of trouble for not reporting my fall immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
