Blood clot in left leg
I had an accident a few months ago where a toto (e-rickshaw) fell on the back of my left leg. There was no bone fracture, but I developed a blood clot in that area. With treatment and medicines, the clot has mostly gone.
However, even now I can feel a small almond-sized lump at the injury site. I also get pain in my left leg if I stand for more than 30 minutes or walk for a while.
I don’t want to take more medicines if possible. I wanted to ask whether daily massage would help, or if this will heal on its own with time. What would you suggest?

Hey there!
I think gently muscle movement will help you to release the clot. However I need more information and visual examination. Feel free to contact me online.
