I have had what looks like a bruise on the outside of my left calf. It doesn t hurt when pressed and has been there for some time. I am on meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol and am overweight otherwise pretty fair health for my almost 71 years. Thank you for any suggestions. PS: I see a RNNP as a health provider.

Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I do understand your pain and discomfort.
As per your history please follow:-
1)Check for strain by taking any painkiller with OMIDOM
2)Check for Deep vein Thrombosis[Clinically,Ultrasound,D-Dimer test]
3)ELISA test for Protein C deficiency & CBC with differential
I hope this is enough to find your causes responsible for bruise on calf muscle.
Thanks
