Hi,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM.
Dear I read your query and reviewed it with context to your query facts.
I understood your health concerns and feel Concerned about them.

Based on the facts of your query, you seem to suffer from-
Muscle pull with Hematoma.
But you need to take care to avoid secondary infection in your calf hematoma.
Check out other causes of ruptured calf veins as you have varicose veins in your legs with DVT.
Being on Warfarin exposes you more to easy post injury hematoma.

Hope this would help you to solve your health issues in the best way possible.
Welcome for any further query in this regard.

Good Day!!
