I got hit in the calf 2 weeks ago by a softball. It immediately swelled and bruised. About an inch above the spot I got hit, a small lump immediately popped out too. I iced it right away and the lump went down. It hurt to walk on it for a couple days. Now, it s still bruised and the lump area is very tender to the touch and I can feel a hard lump under the skin. Is this something I should be worried about? Let it heal or see a doctor? People are concerned about a blood clot. I appreciate your input :)
