I have a bruise on the lower portion of my left leg. It is just above the fold of my knee and I have had this for 10 days, It hurts more today than ever. It now has a yellowish VERY SOFT center and blue and purple around it. It also has small knots inside the yellow area. I recently had heart surgery Jan 7th. Could this be a blood clot that just hasnt moved?
Hi, Dear thanks for the query to Chat Doctor Virtual Clinic. I studied your query in all the details given by you. I reviewed all the data and in my opinion the cause of the purple bruise on left leg, with yellowish center after 10 days, with pain, seems to be boiled in the fold of the knee. Impression-I don't think it to be due to the blood clot, but due to your immobility and compromised body defense due to recent surgical strain. Hope I explained what the lump is and hope you would be satisfied with it. Write excellent reviews if you like this reply and find it helpful to you, as your comments and reviews would improve my rating for the visitors of the Chat Doctor clinic.
