Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Bruising And Swelling In Calf Muscle After An Injury?
Hi. I fell 3 weeks ago and bruised my calf. The bruise is mostly gone but there is still some swelling under the skin and it feels warm on the area. No where else is warm, just where the bruise was. Is this normal and should I be concerned of a blood clot? No streaking. No severe pain, just sore.
Hello I have studied your case. There can be blood clot due to injury. I will advise you clinical examination and further investigation like colour doppler. Till time take thrombophobe ointment for local application. There is possibility of haematoma formation due to injury. ice fomentation over injury will help you. I hope I have answered your questions. If you have further questions please feel free to contact us. I will be happy to answer. Take care.
