Is Sore And Swollen Calf Muscle Post An Injury Signs Of Blood Clots?

I got hit with a golf ball today on the 8th hole in the calf and it s pretty sore and swollen. The only discoloration is where the ball made impact. It s only sore on the inside part of the calf. No spreading of the bruise. I am able to walk pretty normal and finished the round of golf. I walked the course when I played. Should I be concerned with blood clots.

hi.

thank you for providing a brief history of you. I don't think it will be a serious matter. but getting self assessed by a physician and taking an US of calf or Doppler of lower limb veins will always help to come closer to a diagnosis. Also see that you don't walk more or compress the area as well. If you find that swelling and Redness is not coming down than taking an advice from a physician is not a bad option.

with God's grace I wish you a speedy recovery.
