[|Human|] Hi, I have a superficial blood clot, in my calf, stemming from a bruised calf from bumping on my car door, 2 years ago..Just had ultrasound recently, so diagnosis was the superficial blood clot.  Now its gotten worse with pain and more bruising after I had a massage last week. I am wearing compression hose sleeve.  Not sure why its so painful and looks worse now.
[|AI|]  Pain may have increased because of massage make sure massage pressure should not be very soft and from upward direction. Always keep a pillow under your calf muscles do ankle toe movementdonot scratch your clot area if any imitation occurs rub the area very softly use ice packs for your clot and painful area. Do burgers exercises this will help in reducing pain and swelling as well if occurs. Wear cushion supported shoes. Maintain your body weight.
