Hi all,
Had a fall off a ladder the other day knocking a block wall down in my house, stupid I know 🤦.

Broke my arm and fell on my lower back, when in the hospital I let them know about the warfarin but they weren't to worried as I didn't bang my head, just kind of said "Keep an eye" After day 2 the bruising got really bad(see photos). Has anybody had bruising this bad and should I be worried. No pain unless I'm lying on my back or touching it.

Called the warfarin clinic and they said "Go to hospital if I'm worried". Seemed like they were kind of just saying it to cover themselves, really don't fancy sitting in hospital for 12 hours when I feel OK.

Any one else experience bruising this bad.

INR is 2.4

Thanks
