Trying to save my scooter from falling the side foot step rammed into my leg.This happened a week and a half ago. The bruise is barely noticable now. i awoke this morning ,got up and went to walk and it hurt. I noticed when I rubbed my leg there was a knot that had formed. I am puzzeled because I now have a lump where the bruising was.I had blood clots years ago in my lungs years ago so needed to know if this is normal to have a lump form so long after the initial injury. I dont go to the Doctor much because my employer dropped our health insurance coverage.I have to pay cash each time I go and belive me I dont eat nothing but ooodles of noodles till my bill is paid. What do you think I should do Doctor?
Hi, dear thanks for the query to my Chat Doctor virtual online clinic.It's my pleasure to help you as you are without health insurance benefit. My diagnosis -it's an -Unresolved Hematoma-which you noticed. As you had lung clotting history, you should test your clotting factors if it worries you, but not needed for this lump. With the treatment this lump would get reduced in another 2 was time. You should not worry of it, but I advise you to Consult an ER Surgeon-on the safer side.Don't worry and act fast. This would solve your worrisome query. Hope this would solve your query. Wellcome to my Chat Doctor clinic once again. Have a Good Day.
