Suffered From Hematoma That Led To A Large Lump On The Side Of The Leg
I have a very large hematoma that made a large lump on the side of my leg just below the knee. This was caused in a car addicent 11 days ago. The bruising has now gone down into my foot and I still have extreme pain when I first stand up on my leg after a reclining position. Is this normal.
Firstly I would like to say that the information you have provided is not enough as you didn't mention about treatment taken. If i were your treating doctor I would have taken x ray of leg including knee and ankle joints, from both sides. This would have helped me making the correct assessment of your injuries.
You need to visit a general surgeon immediately for detailed examination as your pain has not subsided even after 11 days and bruising is spreading towards ankle joint. You may require to under go a surgery to remove haematoma if it large.
I hope i have clarified your queries. Please do write for follow up queries. Please rate my reply. I wish you rapid recovery. Thank you.
