Yesterday I fell off our porch and have a golfball size hematoma in the middle of my shin. Of course it is painful but today it has turned red and below towards ankle is red and hot.  I have factor V Leiden and have a long history of blood clots.  I am resistant to coumdin and take 150 mg lovenox injections bid. The fact it is getting hot is bothering me more than anything and like I said is very painful and sensitive.  Should I go to the ER?  Thank you.  My email is  YYYY@YYYY /
Hello, thanks for writing thanks asking at Chat Doctor, I have read your question, your body is showing certain reactions to the hematoma, the pain and read this causing is generally the symptoms of it. All the Chat Doctor.  Since you said that it is hurting I suggest you to consult an ER or a general physician nearby. Taking antihistamines and painkillers as prescribed by the physician may reduce the pain within an hour or so. Wishing you a good health,
