I have a very large bruise on my knee which is very sore and warm when l touch it. I knelt on a sharp piece of wood 10 days ago whilst assembling a flat pack of furniture. I am flying in 6 days time on a 4 hour flight and concerned about danger of blood clot. I take 75mg of aspirin daily. Is it safe to fly?
Bruise is blood that has extravasated, it gets reabsorbed on its own, but takes time usually 3 weeks to a month sometimes longer, aspirin you take is for preventing clotting of blood and it used bruise to be very large, you need not stop aspirin as of now, and there is no need to be worried about your flight journey for an external extravasation of blood., I recommend some painkillers SOS, and ice fomentation and wait for bruise to be absorbed.
