Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was playing tennis and severely pulled my hamstring. 2 days later my whole thy was purple. My concern is the bruising has moved down to my calf then it was sore and now to my ankle and Achilles and now they are sore. Is it normal for the blood to travel down like that?
Hello there, Strenious activities like tennis ,involves activities of sudden acceleration and deceleration ,making an individual more prone to have soft tissue injuries of thighs,knee and ankle. In your case it appears that you might have hamstringsprain along with injury to achilles tendon and other tendinous structure. I suggest you ,kindly consult an orthopaedician for examination and envestigative evaluation. Thank you.
