What Is The Suggestion For A Huge Bruise On Calf After A Fall On Ice?
I fell on the ice 2 weeks ago and had a huge bruise form on the inside of my calf. There is a quarter size hard lump that formed and I am still feeling a lot of pressure in that area. It is sore to the touch. Should I have this looked at or does it just take time to heal?

Hello,
Use warm compresses on the area. Do not push on it. If it still persists after another week or two then see a doctor. It is common to get hard areas like this after a large bruise. They usually go away in time but the warm compresses may help.
