What should I do about a bruise that appeared out of nowhere?


Question:
I woke up a week ago, with a HUGE bruise on the back of my leg, and I have no clue where it came from. It hasn't gotten any better, and now as the days go on, my leg is hurting more and more, and my calf is getting tighter and tighter. When I touch the bruise it doesn't hurt at all, but my leg is killing me...i am having to limp. Any advice on what this may be, or what I should do?

Answers:
it might be a clot...go see your Dr. ASAP!
OMG !!! I've had those before! I call them "mystery bruises".
I DID go to the doctor after the first one. and found out it was a vitamin C deficiency.
But you really need to have it checked out.
Meanwhile, put an ice pack on it. I know...very uncomfortable, but it really helps!
Good luck! Hope it goes away soon.( Mine lasted for about a week each time.)
Make a doctors appt. TODAY!!!!!!!
