What Causes Sudden Bruising And Swelling At The Back Of The Calf?
A few days ago I developed a sudden 2 inch diameter area of bruising and swelling at the back of my calf. It appears to be associated with a bulging vessel. There was some tenderness. It is now less tender and appears to be clearing up slightly now several days after its onset. Any idea what this is?

i understood your problem.. might be you involved in standing work for which there is engorgement of veins this could be result in vericose veins or deep vein thrombosis..
i suggest my patients limb elevation by applying pillow during bed time and avoidance of much standing work..
i generally suggest ultrasonography colour doppler to evaluate this kind of situations if not correct...
hope you will be satisfied..
