Hi. i had very tight dress socks on for 13 hours. i took them off i had a very large bruise on my shin where the socks ident was. is this concerning?

Moniter: A bruise is an area of bleeding into the soft tissues, presumably from your tight socks. I would take socks off, elevate the leg and see how it does. If the bruise continues to enlarge or your leg becomes more swollen, I would seek medical attention. If not, it will probably be fine.
