A member asked:
Can a clot that is in a bruise break off or extend and travel? i have a bruise with a raised cord part-is that common? could it turn into a dvt?

Unlikely : A bruise is unlikely to turn into dvt unless you have a clotting disorder.

Bruise/wound: Rarely, however there are patients with genetic anomalies, ie: Factor V Leiden, MHTR, etc., who can be susceptible to developing clots or wounds often in the lower extremity. There are also situations where a somewhat innocuous wound seemingly 'heals' and down the road develop septicemia/DVT—It'd be prudent, if other symptoms occur generally to get checked by your doc-
