Just over a year ago, while moving house, I dropped a pile of heavy-ish books and the bottom of the books hit the front of my leg above my ankle on the way down. It must have really hurt because I remember yelling in a really unladylike manner. I'm trying to describe this in slow motion but it's tricky; the books sort of slid down my leg once they met it, grazing and bruising it before hitting the ground, leaving a bruise that was a perfect horizontal line at the top sort of smudged downwards. The point is, it was an usual way to get a bruise. After a few minutes it was fine then the next night it was swollen, multicolored and extremely sore. Since that night, it's been painless and quickly faded to green but it's still as visible and green as a almost year ago!!
This is the only case I've had of a bruise sticking around, but I'm still quite concerned since that area of my leg has recently started hurting sometimes at night, odd yes. I've heard some scary ideas like Hemophilia, Diabetes and Liver problems but they seem a bit much, for the most part I'm fine. Does anyone know what's going on? If you know anything pleeaase help. I get anxious easily so please be gentle
