What Causes Soreness And Bruising On The Thigh?

I am a 62 year old female in good health. I bumped my thigh on a stationary object and it bruised my leg severely. I did this on Friday night. The bruise is looking worse--I took a hot bath last night, which probably didn t help it. I feel sore today, like I worked out too hard, mainly in my core area and right rib cage area. I did workout Monday, but I did my normal workout, which I do 2-3 times per week. My last workout was the Wednesday before (5 days ago). I guess I want to make sure that this couldn t be a serious side effect from the bruise. Thanks

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your thigh and leg and it bruised severly( you got hematoma). If you has no fever, then no need to worry much. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. Rest is advisable and you can take ibuprofen for pain relief. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
