What Causes Bruising In Thighs And Nerve Tightness In Neck?
My friend injured his hamstring two weeks ago, bruising showed up three days later on the entire back of his thigh and the began to bruise into his calf. He iced it and took ibuprofen, currently suffers night sweats fatigue at the end of the day. He began taking baby aspirin several days ago and claims to have nerve tightness in the back of his neck. Should he see a doctor for possible blood clots or anything like that

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Due to blunt injury there can be hematoma collection in thigh .The bleeding that occurs result in hematoma collection. Over a period of time, as hematoma resolves it cause local skin symptoms around the hematoma.
Do ice application,and thrombhophobe ointment may help.
Due to compression of this nerve root there pain .
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
