i have a lump in my calf, what is wrong with me?
about 2 months ago i fell off my bike and landed on my hands, my legs hit the curb and i had painful bruises on my thighs and calf for a little while. all the bruises has gone away, apart from one. the purple bruise has turned into my normal skin colour, so i thought it wa shealing, every time i touch it and press around a bit it felt like there was gel under my skin. i'd forgotten about it until today when i touched it again and it felt really hard, like a lump under my skin. should i go to the doctor? or is it minor? Please help guys, would be much much appreciated :))

IT'S NOT A TUMAH - highly doubtful. Gregg was correct. As a professional, I suggest seeing a doctor ONLY to make sure you haven't done anything else.

You always hurt more than what you see or think. But, if it was a purple bruise, it was a bruise of a branch off an artery which is blood directly from the heart, no oxygen yet. The body, in response, would form a barrier around that bruise to seal it, it is an artery. But, as the wound heals the body will recognize that the seal is no longer needed and it will dissolve it.

Could be a tumor, could be a blood clot, could just be a bit of tense muscle. I'd still get it checked out though. Better safe than sorry :) Good Luck
