A member asked:
Bruising on my calf muscle, is this bone cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is it bruised: If its really a bruise like you hit it. That is not cancer. If you have a hard knot in the muscle, it is unlikely to be cancer but can be things that your regular doctor can help you with.
