Why not stretch the skin to get some convolutions in the tape and get more lift for improved circulation?

got a dead leg around a month ago, it’s not dead anymore but it’s now very painful to touch and is a few hard lumps on my quad (non visible bruising)

[psnKnowledge]

Why do many of my bruises still hurt even 1-2 years later?

I never iced them but I've been icing all my bruises recently.
They still hurt on my hand, forearm, ankle, and knee.
Thanks for any help, I've tried researching everywhere.

Hi doc, what would be the treatment if the hematoma leads to myositis ossificans?

Thank you

Can’t believe you left those glittery stars under the tape too 🙈

Thank you

I’m a gymnast. Following a fall on the corner of the beam I was diagnosed with a haematoma. It has been about 8 days after the injury to my right thigh (which was completely bruised from top to bottom of the thigh) the bruise has healed but I have a lump from the impact of the injury, which if the skin above it is pulled or tightened causes a ripping feeling. Is the ripping feeling caused by the muscle fibres sticking together when healing? How long will the lump (clot?) take to heal? Thanks!

Can you anchor lower and make the tails go upward so that putting on pants doesn’t catch on the tails?

I was kicked super hard in the right calf, i have limited mobility on that ankle and calf, what would be the recovery time

[stephaniebrown]

Is it normal to have a quad strain with lots of swelling above the knee that doesn't produce any pain. I have a hard time walking due to not having good mobility from it and my legs feels super heavy and my knees hurt and pop while moving a bit. I can't get the swelling to go down. 12 days now. I've been staying off my feet and doing the RICE treatment. No x-rays or MRI were done.

Hi doc, do hematoma gets bigger as not treated early?

What are the symptoms of hematoma?

Thank you

Why does the tape help? I landed on a rock right leg middle to the outer thigh. Knee swelled all kinds of pain. X-ray nothing broken. where I landed on a rock. It feels much better. But down around the knee muscles. Crap they are painful and when sleeping I move my leg and I know a heavy rain of burning pain is coming. Swelling in the knee is way down and the color is getting back to color. Its been 3 weeks towards 4. Bending leg painfully. How do I get the muscles around the knee to chill out? They are what is causing me pain in my knee.

Do people often confuse hemathoma pain with siatic nerve pain? My husband suffers from what seems to be hemathoma according to the comments and video but dr just gives him a shot (only does good for that day) and drs favorite antibiotic... TYLENOL!!!! He literally cries in pain... Hes barely bruised after 6 months.... This week the bruise came forward before it was just red and puffy... Everyone says its siatic nerve but i highly doubt it..

Hi doc, do draining hematoma usually surgery or it could be by syringe?


Thank you

son (17) plays football at a high standard (UK version !) and gets regular dead legs 2 or 3 times every season, he sometimes isnt aware of what happened and tends to feel the injury a few hrs after a often takes 1 to 3 weeks, are there excercises he can do to help with prevention or is it just bad luck, it always seems to be the right quads....
