<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have a large hematoma and a small hematoma on my leg from a horse accident almost 4 months ago he fell back on me I still get periodic swelling in my whole leg. I was wondering if it is okay to fly with this condition, if the altitude will cause more swelling. I did take an emergency flight two months after the incident my best friend died and my leg was pretty well swollent the whole week I was there.  <response>: Hello, The periodic happening of hematomas could be due to the existence of any bleeding disorders so kindly do a blood investigation including platelet counts, bleeding and clotting time. TO CONCLUDE 1 do your blood investigations to rule out any bleeding disorder 2 till that you can do the following: can apply ice packs to reduce hematomas, if associated with any pain try taking analgesics like ibuprofen and try to reduce movements. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
