Hey admin 4 days ago I fell and I bruised my leg. Weird enough my calf is only bruised. The bruise started spreading now it?s literally covering the entire calf. I consulted and the doctor just gave me an injection, rubbery stuff and meds but i?ve been getting a lot of people telling me actually having to cut myself so release the blood. I?m getting confused on what to do exactly and the pain is starting to spread throughout the entire the leg. Please help.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The bruise itself won't cause a blood clot. In very rare circumstances, the hit that caused the bruise can. If a deep-seated vein is damaged during the collision, it could lead to a deep-vein clot. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
