Bruise Healing

[zoom-zoom]

Yeah, like I said, it was a while back, and I'm not finding anything one way or the other now. I did run across a report that I'd forgotten, that Serena Williams developed a hematoma that required emergency treatment as the result of her treatment for embolism. But it didn't say why her hematoma needed emergency treatment.

The hematoma she had was caused by a clot, not the other way around, AFAIK. I have a friend who had something like this in her arm (the scary thing is that I have had THREE exceptionally fit female friends in their 30s and 40s diagnosed with clots just in the past 6 months--one in her arm, one in her leg, one in her head).

I'm not arguing with you, really!

I just can't find anything authoritative one way or the other. I don't know whether Serena Williams would've had to get her hematoma treated if she hadn't had the clot before, or anything about why she had to get it treated. I don't know whether my PT actually knows something about it, or whether her opinion just seems to carry more weight with me because she's a health care professional.

If the consensus is that it's safe for Aggie to treat her injuries conservatively at home, good! and I hope it's healing fast.
