What Causes Lump Along With Bruising A The Back Of My Thigh?
i have a ball bearing type lump in the back of my thigh which hurts when pressure is applied. It has gone down a little since the other day. However i dont recall bumping the area and a bruise has now appeared and is getting bigger each day. The bruise is about the size of a 10 pence at the moment. Should i be worried
This lump is most likely a varicose vein. Due to veins insufficiency your veins gets enlarged as the blood circulation is impeded. In some cases such varicose vein can get clotted. This causes hardness and pain. I suggest you to consult general surgeon with this issue. Dopplers veins ultrasound should be done.
Hope this will help. Regards.
