Hello, I Suffered A Deep Muscle Bruise In My Calf

Hello,

I suffered a deep muscle bruise in my calf 1 day ago. Left lateral gastrocnemius. The swelling is going down and there is no pitting, no warmth or redness I have a flight in two days (it is a long haul flight from Philippines to Los Angeles approximately 14 hours but I do have 2 lay overs in between) What are your recommendations? Should I use an ace bandage, ice, heat, crutches. Should I Stick with the rice method during the flight. Am I at risk for a blood clot (I currently have no symptoms for one). Could blood thinners harm me if I take them without having DVT?
