My husband had a small lipoma, about the size of a quarter, removed from the left side of his back for cosmetic reasons 6 days ago (Tuesday). The surgeon removed the lipoma in his office with local anesthesia and the procedure was painless. Now, though, he has severe bruising that covers his entire side. He assumed it was from lying on that side at night but it has been this way for days now. Is this normal? He wants to work out, is this wise? What, if anything, should we do about the bruising?
