Did an injury lead to a blood clot in my leg? I am on birth control... Please help!?

Question

I was working on my total gym three weeks ago and I scraped/bruised my lower calf. It still hurts and I have a lump there. Today out of no where it started hurting while I was sitting down at work. I'm 20 and on the pill and totally paranoid about blood clots.. could it be one or is it just a bad bruise that I'm freaking out about?

Answer 1

It's possible for either one. Hard to say without a proper examination. Consult with your doctor.
