Massive bruise due to varicose vein??? |
I have this huge vein around my leg that starts a my inner thigh and wraps around my leg and goes to the out side of my knee. Yesterday at my daughters game a knelt down to tie her shoe and my knee snapped and a lump the size a golf ball deveploped. Today this nasty bruise has developed and has a fever to it and now my knee is very achy. My uestion is can those veins bust? And should I be concerned? I will send pics if I need to Sounds so much like an ACL tear or a patellar tendon rupture. ...with the pop and all. But to make u understand i have to describe some medical basics, so bear with me. The ACL is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament. Your knee is a hinge joint located where the end of the femur (thigh bone) meets the top of the tibia (shin bone). And, there are 4 main ligaments connecting these two bones. One of those ligaments is the ACL. The ACL lies in the middle of the knee, and prevents the tibia from sliding out in front of the femur. It also provides rotational stability to the knee. It is usually athletes who experience an ACL tear,and so i do doubt that this is ur case, but u make it sound so "textbook-y". Yes, the area can be hot and painful. But im leaning more toward a patellar tendon rupture. It also presents with a classic audible "pop" sound. Your patellar tendon is what connects ur kneecap to the tibia(shin bone). It can occur in ppl whove had a history of patellar tendon rupture in the past, in ppl who are overweight, ages 30-50, atheletes. But then again ppl with none of these descriptions also present with patellar tendon ruptures. My suggestion is to go to the doctor, first of all, because we can"hypothesise" for u what it is, but we can't make it better for u physically. If the rupture isn't very significant, ur doctor may decide to give u a knee immobilizer/brace, crutches, tell u to elevate the leg, put ice on it, If it is a complete rupture, surgery is probably the only other option. If this is an ACL tear, then ur doc has to use his judgement on whether or not to give surgery depending on the extent of the tear, ur atheletic status and so on. I know this was quite long, and possibly boring, but i hope it helped somewhat, and good luck to you. But please...go to ur doctor...NOW! And yes...u should be concerned. All the best!

GROSS! *you should get to your doctor or out patience clinic right away.if something has burst ,you could be in danger.contact someone right away. I would like to see the efect please so i can answer your question w/the correct answer. thak you. varicose veins don't usually burst but you may have a "Bakers Cyst". RICE is what you need - Rest Ice Compression and Elevation. Take anti inflammatories for a few days + apply a cold compress for 45mins at a time. If the pain continues to get worse, see a doc in 1-2 days |
