Reply To: What would you do about a bruised leg?

FYI: The bruise started by my knee and now elongated closer to my ankle. Turns out that this is normal.

She said that as the body absorbs the blood, the cells shift down because of gravity.

She’s seen patients who had a bruise on their forehead, and eventually the blood went down their entire face. And a bruise on the chest going down to the leg.

Mine didn’t go down that far visibly because she suspects that the impact broke blood vessels deeper and underneath the fascia.

However, if the impact hit more superficial vessels, then the bruising could have been visible up to my toes. She’s even seen patients with PURPLE TOES that came from leg injuries.

LU: That’s another way to get a PURPLE TOE <3

Thanks all 🙂
