Hello. I went to the doctor because I burst a blood vessel ...

Sent to Health Experts December 04 06:06 PM

Hello. I went to the doctor because I burst a blood vessel in my left leg because I strained myself when moving my bowel ( I am getting treated for the bowel issue)

I have a red mark on my leg by my calf and it will not clear up.

Also I get sensations coming from the back of my ankle. It doesn't hurt but when I sit down or lay my leg it feels like something is moving in the back of my ankle.

I have had this for a week and it does not hurt. My doctor says I blown a blood vessel.
Will this heal itself? Do I need medication?

 

Optional Information:
Age: 34, Illinois

Already Tried:
putting antibotics on the leg elevating it

I would suggest continuing your current treatment - antibiotic cream and elevation. If it is not healed within 1 week - then I would check with the doctor again.
