I went to my family physician today to see about the bruising on my leg and the pain that is still there. The bruises are probably the worst bruises I’ve ever had. The pain isn’t crazy, but it still bother’s me. It pretty much feels like a pulled muscle now. My doctor didn’t really have anything else to tell me other than there was obviously something bleeding in there or else the bruising wouldn’t have happened. The crazy part is I don’t think I strained it or ran into anything or anything like that. She said a torn muscle is a possibility, but didn’t want to commit to that. Basically, like everyone else, she just doesn’t know what is going on.
I had her get me a referral to the Vascular Surgeon I’ve seen at the Cleveland clinic. They got me an appointment Sept. 2nd, but it isn’t with him, it’s with one of his colleagues because he is out on medical leave for whatever reason. I have to get an ultrasound of my leg first thing in the morning and then my appointment is later on.
I guess I will finally feel a little bit better if I go there and they can’t find anything, at least three people are saying the same thing, but at the same time it would sure be nice to know what happened. Something obviously let loose in my leg, be it a vessel, muscle, or otherwise, or else I wouldn’t have had the symptoms I had Monday night nor would I have the severe bruising that I have now out of nowhere.
