Noticed A Big Bruise On Calf With A Knot In Center
I have a big bruise on my calf with a knot in the center. The bruise is fading after a few weeks. It s still got a few little circles around the knot. But I noticed that I had some swelling in that ankle the last few days. And before that I had quite a bit of discomfort towards the bottom of my knee, and on the top of my foot into my ankle. Are these possibly all connected? Or should I not worry about it? My other leg is fine.

In my opinion you should consider deep vein thrombosis , try a simple test by streching your calf for 1 min then sudden release , if pain increase then you probably have DVT
