My hubby (54) complained of a tight painful area in the back of his thigh. His is very muscular with low body fat -- athletic type but overdoes it in my opinion. Next day, black and blue began to appear. Now 2 days later, there is a dark black/purple area the size of a grapefruit and a smaller dark purple area below that. I was shocked at this but he said it's nothing -- just blood draining.(?!) He says it's just a partial hamstring tear and has been icing and resting it. He wants me to get him high dose bromelaine tablets and to buy some papaya for him. Would these help and is it dangerous for him to fly in a plane now?
