Pulling a muscle.

[Matt Harty]

I've seen bruises like that, but only from sports injuries. That kind of thing coming from stretching is weird.

It usually needs medical attention if:

It Swells
Not sure if you're having that problem.

It doesn't start healing within a week. Your's is yellowish on the outside which is good, and it should continue to do that from the outside in.

It forms easily and for no obvious reason.
That seems to be your case. Stretching doesn't seem like the greatest reason to have a giant bruise. The only time i've seen a bruise like that is when someone got hit in the leg with a bat. :/


Give it a week and call my office if you have any other questions.


And don't fucking keep it active like the halfwits are saying. It's like the idiotic people who have sore muscles and think stretching it is going to make it better.

Anyways putting ice or heat on it only applies to the first day, so just wait it out.
