What Causes Bulging After Healing The Bruise?
I flipped over the handlebars on my bike 3 years ago. I had a big bruise (about 2 in) and some swelling on my left thigh which healed fine. However, I can still feel a slight bulge. Is this anything to be concerned with given the time frame and is it okay for me to begin slowly jogging as I need to lose weight My age is 53,
