What Does Prolonged Bump And Bruising After Injury Indicate?
I was kicked on the inside of of my calf of leg by my horse. It has been almost a week now, and the lump is still hard and bruising has moved down to the inside of my ankle? I can push my finger into my leg and it stays dented in for longer than it should?

HI. This is an indication to be seen by an Orthopedic Surgeon to determine whether there is muscle necrosis or not. You may need to undergo ultrasonography or MRI only if felt necessary by the Ortho Surgeon.
He may aspirate and see the contents. If this is just a hematoma, nothing to worry, with rest and medicines you will get OK.
