Wow, I'm also 38, and my leg looked almost exactly like yours, my bruising wasn't quite as bad as yours. my injury happen to me on March 25, my wife's birthday no less, I landed on a tree root when I fell from my mountain bike. On April 4th, I had approximately 300cc's aspirated from my thigh. On April 8th, I had another 177cc's aspirated. How much longer should I expect this trend to continue. I go back on April 18th, and expect at least another 177cc's to be removed!

Is there anything I can do to keep the fluid from coming back? The hematoma is so high on my thigh, close to my hip, that I can't properly wrap it without the wrap falling off. My bruise is gone as far as I can tell. I'm still a little tender where I made initial contact with the root right below my hip. I'm just happy to not have any broken bones! I am ready to start running and riding again...
