What Causes Hard Knots Post Heeling Of A Bruise From A Leg Injury?
i was go-karting, the brakes stopped working & i flew into a wall causing the middle metal bar to slam into my leg. I got a terrible bruise that went from the side to the back of my leg just above the knee. Now it is heeling, the bruise color has gone away but I am left with hard knots. Is this something i should worry about?

Hello
The knots are likely hematomas--pools of blood under the skin.
Those will be absorbed in time and are not worrisome but it would be a good idea to have a doctor check you out
