Dear Doctor, Last week my wife slips down on wet floor. She has strained the back part of the thigh and it has developed a blood clotted patch of say 4 inch diameter. It is paining her. There is no swelling as such but a discomfort is there. We are doing light massage with hot mustard oil and healthy. ALSO WE ARE SPRAYING A DEEP HEAT ON IT. Kindly advise what to do for getting a relief from pain while walking. It is something like rupture at soft part of the thigh back.

Please avoid massage You can just use spray for pain if clot comes will take min 15 days and upto three weeks If you wish to be more sure then get basic ultrasound done to look for amount of collection may it require needle aspiration by atleast 18 G needle Also feel free to consult surgeon if her pain increase Same time I must say you she is very lucky that no bone injury Please use antiskid slipper since with time we forget what happened but this simple mistake can take bidder shape in future be careful I wish her fast recovery.
