Not sure if you are concerned why don't you check with your Doctor or Nhs direct,

Hope you feel better soon

I would seek medical attention. Let them know you are a APS patient. Not to scare you it just maybe serious. I had a pulminary embolism.

I banged the back of my hand on a radiator very hard about a month ago...a small lump & bruise appeared.....the bruise got bigger then began to fade then came back even worse as the lump grew. I went to the Doctors and was told a bump can cause a blood clot in anyone. The pain made me feel sick but luckily mine was a non venous clot. Go get it checked out... it's better to be safe than sorry.

Hi kezbabe I would contact your inr clinician. I had to when I had a fall in the bathroom and made an absolute mess of my knee, ankle and foot. I was swollen and black and blue. I was given advice and told what to do. Hope this helps and your leg is soon much better.
