Noticed a big bruise on calf with a knot in center
Patient: 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. Doctor: 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 in which case i recommed visiting ER for doplarGood Luck
