What Does A Painful Lump On The Calf Indicate?
A day ago my calf suddenly felt as if it had a contusion or knot and it was uncomfortable to walk. Today, a bruise appeared in a straight line across the calf where the pain is. The foot below the bruise feels a little cold, and falls asleep easily. To my knowledge I did not injure the calf. Is there any indication of what might cause this effect?
