I still have a bruise on my leg after 5 months. Why hasn't it gone? It's like a big black/blue mark on my leg but when I first did it (I accidently fell down some stairs) my leg was so swollen I could hardly bend it to walk up the stairs for about 3 days. Is it just a case of being patient or is there a medical reason why it's taking so long to heal? Thanks xx

You probably are going to want to see a doctor about this. It could mean many things, but you really need to see a doctor.
It could be something as simple as a a deep muscle bleed--I had a bruise for a year ago that is still visible today. My doctor has told he I did permanent damage, hence the reason it's still there. BUT I ran full-force into a sharp corner of a cedar chest!
Go to a doctor--it'll make YOU feel as ease as well.

A Bruise On The Leg

Sounds as if she just bruised or possibly pulled a muscle in her attempt to get free. I agree with what the Vet Tech told you. Wait a few days and see what happens. True cats are masters when comes to hiding illness and pain, but in this case I think in a few days all will be well. Don't be surprised if she doesn't play with that toy again tho. As long as she's using the leg, eating, drinking, and using the bathroom. Time is all you need. But it's good to do a little worrying too.

Hi, I work in a hospital. The best advice I can give you is to go and see your doctor. Long lasting bruises can sometimes mean you have some form of anemia, but like I said, the best way to find out is to ask your doctor.

You haven't seen a doctor for this yet? You need to see one ASAP. This could be as simple as a vitamin deficiency or more serious like leukemia. A bruise should never take more then 2 weeks to heal. Get to the dr ASAP!

5 months is a little long for a bruise. its probably a hematoma (a collection of blood in the area of bruising) which just needs to be evacuated, its a standard proceedure, or you could have some hematological disorder. either way i say go see your doctor, its too long

Several years ago my bruises healed slowly. Are you on the pill? I was; and I think that had something to do with it. Take vitamin C with bioflavonoids. It will help your bruises heal faster.

It sounds really bad, but if i were you, i would just wait it out some more, if its still there for another 3 weeks, go see a doctor. :)
