Large Hematoma On The Knees Following An Accident. Swollen, Warm To Touch. Should I Be Concerned About A Blood Clot?
I was involved in an auto accident on Nov 27....the knee bag deployed and I now have a large hematoma to the left of my right knee which was replaced in Sept 2007. It is still swollen and hard, and warm to the touch. I also have a hematoma on my left leg and tonight it is burning...is this cause for concern? I guess I am concerned about a blood clot. I was on medical leave since the accident. I returned to work today and found that sitting all day has caused my legs to really ache.
Thank you.
