Is Compression Stocking Advisable For A Small Hematoma On The Calf?
I have a small hematoma on the side of my calf from a car door hitting it about 3 months ago. It has gotten smaller (size of a pea) but is tender when touched. I am flying from Florida to California in 20 days and am wondering if it s safe to do so. Will compression stockings help?

Hi,
You need to get it checked as it may be hematoma or aneurysm or lipoma. You need to get it properly examined and compression stockings will not help in such situations. Compression stockings are useful in cases of generalized swelling over legs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Anuj Gupta, Spine Surgeon
