Hurt the outside of my left quad in a crash yesterday and since then I've been hobbling around like John Wayne. Anyone got an explanation of what it is? I'm guessing just some muscle damage, that's just a guess though. And there's no signs of bruising.
there'll be a bruise, just a bit deeper. If you're lucky you'll have a great visible one in a day or two but sadly you never even get to see some of the best ones as they fade to bugger all as they disperse 🙁
When I broke my hip it felt like the worst dead leg I'd ever had.
There wasn't a lot of 'obvious external damage' as the junior doc who'd been pressing my knee into my chest to prove 'there's not much wrong, see!' was keen to point out after the x-rays came back and showed the head of my femur was now only on nodding terms with the rest of my leg.

I crushed the bottom of my calf on wed between the bike and a rock theres a lump but i know theres gonna be a huge bruise in a few days..it takes bruises about a week to come out sometimes for me 😉
As mentioned above, sounds like deep bruising, the bruising on my hip took at least three days to appear, then followed by a large lump which I discovered (be it after STW diagnosis) was a hematoma, both faded away after a few days.
