Hemarthrosis is the medical term for bleeding in a joint. When you have pain and swelling in a single joint (monoarticular), hemarthrosis is a common cause. It is a cause for concern not only because of the pain, but because prolonged blood exposure can damage the cartilage.
Injury to the peripheral nerve (nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord) may result from blunt force, fractures, crush injuries, stretch, penetrating or cut injuries. The nerves of the upper limb are the most commonly injured. The healing process from nerve injury can take from a few weeks to a few months.
This may cause permanent loss of feeling in the area where the donor nerve graft was taken. Once the insulating cover of the nerve is repaired, the nerve generally begins to heal three or four weeks after the injury. Nerves usually grow one inch every month, depending on the patient's age and other factors. With an injury to a nerve in the arm above the fingertips, it may take up to a year before feeling returns to the fingertips. The feeling of pins and needles in the fingertips is common during the recovery process.
