Teenager. Blood Clots With Bruises Due To Physical Atlercations. Time Of Healing?
Hi, Im a 17 year old female and lately unfortunately i been getting into a few phyiscal atlercations and of course im getting hit hard. I noticed when i get hit really hard ill sometimes feel under the bruise what i think is a blood clot. It feels like i little ball. Is it normal to get a blood clot from a hard hit especially at my age, also will they go away, if so how long should it take?

Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
It is not abnormal to have clot after a hard injury.At present you should not bother about this.If this injury is recent then you should do cold fomentation wth help of a cold wrap.Avoid walking for long duration & doing hard work.
Take a good analgesic like paracetamol for relief.
This will heal in 7-10 days.
Hope this will help you.
