A member asked:

Large unexplained calf bruise. back of leg.stiff leg at times. pea sized lump under skin. slightly swollen lower calf. had bruise 5 days.serious?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: ruptured tendon, but you need to see a doctor to make sure that it is not thrombophlebitis, especially if you have risk factors such as birth control pills,smoking, protracted immobility, or recent surgery. This can lead to a pulmonary embolus, a potentially life threatening problem.
