Possible DVT: See your doctor about the possibility of a deep vein thrombosis secondary to your injury.

Hematoma: Depending on where the bruise is you may have a hematoma secondary to muscle injury. Worst case scenario is a blood clot in the leg which should be looked at on an immediate basis. Either way, it's a good idea to seek follow up care for that as soon as possible.
