Fall On The Thigh, Have A Constant Bruise With Knot And Swelling Since Then. Possibility Of DVT Or Ossification?
Earlier today I fell very hard onto my inner thigh. As soon as I was able to catch my breath and stand back up, I noticed a soft ball sized bruise with a huge knot and considerable swelling . As well as a bruised and swelled ankle. It has been about 12 hours since the injury and the swelling and bruising has been constant. I am unable to put weight on my leg and have it lightly wrapped with ace bandage . I am concerned about the possibility of having DVT or ossification?? Do I need Togo to the doc or chiropractor?? I also have considerable pain....
