Have Knot Under The Skin, Bruise, Pain. What Is It?
I have what seems to be a big bruise but dont remember bumping it and it has not went away! It has a knot under the skin its on my leg there is some pain with it throughout my leg! I have never had anything so big and not knowing how i got it somehow i woke up with it.....its very big! Was wondering should i be worried about it or could it be something simple
This sounds like you may have had a varicose vein that has burst or possibly a thrombophlebitis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varicose_veins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophlebitis There is no specific treatment other than compression, anti-inflammatory medication, cold compress, elevation.
