A member asked:
I fell 7 months ago and got a large bruise in my leg. the bruise is still there and is still tender. should i be concerned that it hasn't healed yet?

If its still ----: Tender 7 months after the injury then it probably is a fat necrosis in the leg, with the bruising over that area. You should see your orthopedist to confirm the dx, probably with a MRI and might need removal of it. Good luck.

Leg pain: You take nsaids/ naprosyn, (naproxen) so consider remnants if a painful hematoma. Consider mei imaging or ultrasound. See your orthopedic surgeon for possible evacuation of hematoma or painful mass.
