How Can A Painful Bruise On The Calf Be Treated?

I got into an argument with some gay guy after my friend left us alone to go get me a salad at the restaurant next door. Anyways , it was explained to me that he sometimes drops by to do chores around the house. It wasn t until my friend was gone that this guy started to try and get me to leave. I didn t yell, but I replied to him It doesn t matter how many favors you ll do for him, he still won t sleep with you. He s straight-up using you ... Then.. [] Wearing Steel toe boots. [] He asked me to have the door open, He was leaving. [] He kicked me in the calve and ran away. [] It didn t really hurt at the time, I shrugged it off. [] My friend came back and I was play fighting with him, it wasn t until then that it started to hurt. [] I put ice on it for a brief moment then and again when I arrived home. [] The following day , my whole calf was yellow and blue. [] About a week in, it was black and blue. [] The bruise started to go away. [] It wasn t until the bruise was gone, that I noticed this goose egg getting bigger. [] I knocked my calve into a table and now its much worst. [] It wont go down , the bruise is gone, the pain remains. The goose egg got bigger.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The injury has led to muscle and soft tissue trauma with hematoma formation. The bruise is the surrounding superficial tissue injury which has now healed. However the hematoma has not resolved. You say it is becoming bigger. It is painful too. In such a situation, it may require surgical evacuation of the blood inside under local anesthesia. Please do consult a General surgeon who can examine you and do the necessary surgical intervention, if the doctor feels it is essential.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
