A member asked:
I have a hematoma, injury 4 days ago, with a blueish foot and calf. leg is somewhat yellowish. how should i treat it?

The colors: associated with a trauma, contusion and hematoma formation evolve over time with further spread of leaked blood (from blood vessels) and the effects of gravity.Then more colors result at the blood proteins metabolize. After 4 days, I don't think further icing will help. Elevation still may. Avoid aggravating activities/too much weight bearing.Observe for redness, heat, tenderness;see Doctor if ?'s

Rest.: Elevation, rest and intermittent moist heat applications may speed your recovery up. If a concern develops you may need to consult with a family practitioner.
