Suggest Remedy For Severe Pain And Bruising In Calf

Hi, I have a superficial blood clot, in my calf, stemming from a bruised calf from bumping on my car door, 2 years ago..Just had ultrasound recently, so diagnosis was the superficial blood clot. Now its gotten worse with pain and more bruising after I had a massage last week. I am wearing compression hose sleeve. Not sure why its so painful and looks worse now.

pain may have increased because of massage make sure massage pressure should not be very soft and from upward direction.
always keep a pillow under your calf muscles
do ankle toe movement
donot scratch your clot area if any iritation occurs rub the area very softly
use ice packs for your clot and painful area.
do burger's exercises this will help in reducing pain and swelling as well if occurs.
