[|Human|] During a walk in the high pyrenees if fell and injured my right just below the knee. Since i am on anticoagulants (xarelto) I rapidly developed a major hematoma and was helicoptered to the nearest hospital. X- rays established that nothing was broken and i was dismissed from the hospital. We are now two weeks on and the hematoma has shrunk, but is still there and hurts mainly when I have been restin my leg ( elevation) and when standing up in the morning. Stiffness remains, but less now then before. Should i continue with RICE and/or should I start walking to get the blood circulatin? Rene
[|AI|]  Hi, welcome to Chat Doctor .you seem to have soft tissue injury of your right leg you are already on the right track of treatment. Only thing is these injuries might take 3-4 weeks for complete recovery. Also since you are on anticoagulants, your hematoma is taking a bit more time to resolve. Continue with RICE.avoid walking as much as possible.things should improve in another 1-2 week swishing you a speedy recovery thank you
