let's just clarify that "blood pooling in the leg" isn't the same thing as a deep venous thrombosis (dvt ). many people have problems with lower leg circulation which often is called peripheral vascular disease. however pvd may put a person at higher risk of developing a dvt. as to your question yes an injury to the leg definitely can cause problems with circulation. a broken hip or leg or any type of injury that disrupts normal blood flow to the extremity can cause the type of fluid retention and pooling you describe. if you did not have your injury treated by a medical professional now would be a good time to have this checked out. your health care provider can assess the situation and get you appropriate treatment. your provider may also be able to further clarify whether the leg injury contributed to the circulation problems. i hope this helps!
