Ok, Doc, what is the possibility of a clot forming, but not moving during the immediate period of injury. That leads to the question, if a deep thigh bruise occurred with no apparent embolism problem occurring thereafter, is there still risk that the clot could eventually move, relocate, and cause further problems months or even years later?
Years ago I dumped my motorcyle resulting a very deep thigh bruise and significant edema in the thigh that, according to my orthopoedic surgeon, was different than anything he had ever seen. Like some may get water on the knee, I had water on the thigh---draining off perhaps several quarts of fluid including blood. My thigh was like a very large water balloon and required several drainings separated over several months. I've also permanently lost most feeling in that thigh. What are the possibilities that a clot may have formed for which there could be further risk of relocation and subsequent problems?
