A TV scrapped down my leg hitting the left side of my calf muscle. This left a big knot with bruising which is now draining. I put aan ace bandage at first which pushed the blood on down to my ankle and looks brusised. I ice it, soak in epson salt and elevate it. I can walk on my leg but the knot doesn t seem to be going down, Red spots are now popping up around the knot like it is draining more. Should I wear a support hose or is there any other suggestions. I have no money or insurance to get it checked out and would like to try to heal it at home. Thank you.
