Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I fell & hurt my leg about a month ago. dr took xrays nothing broken just bad bruising. she said that I need to watch out for blood clots. I have been wearing a compression bandage on my ankle & up my leg for the past couple weeks. today my calf hurts, kind of like I was kicked. what do I need to watch for regarding a blood clot?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if this is the history of injury then it may cause the soft tissue inflammation and may cause the pain even in absence of fracture but with the right treatment and management it will be fine soon hope this information helps
