I have a very large hematoma that made a large lump on the side of my leg just below the knee. This was caused in a car addicent 11 days ago. The bruising has now gone down into my foot and I still have extreme pain when I first stand up on my leg after a reclining position. Is this normal.
Dear thanks for the question. Firstly I would like to say that the information you have provided is not enough as you didn't mention treatment taken.  If I were your treating doctor I would have taken x-ray of leg including knee and ankle joints, from both sides. This would have helped me to make the correct assessment of your injuries. You need to visit a general surgeon immediately for detailed examination as your pain has not subsided even after 11 days and bruising is spreading towards ankle joint. You may require to undergo a surgery to remove hematoma if it is large. I hope I have clarified your queries. Please do write for follow-up queries. Please rate my reply. I wish you rapid recovery. Thank you.
