Could The Little Lumps And The Swollen Bruise Be Due To Blood Clot?
Hi I got into a car accident about three weeks ago and had a 30-50 pound tool box slam against my leg right below my knee had a nasty bruise but now just a shadow of a bruise but it is still tender to touch and swollen where the bruise was also have little lumps. Is it a blood clot? Or just part of the healing process?

hello,
welcome to HCM,
usually a blood clot will not have such features.
healing is associated with swelling in the area due to addition of tissue.
dont be worried.
wait for some more days.
do take appropriate pain killers as advised by your doctor.
things will improve
