did you bump your thigh, or do anything to create a hematoma? typically they dont form unless there is some kind of trauma bad enough to cause a good amount of bleeding from a vein or artery into the surrounding tissue. do you have any swelling or inflammation? if it persists I'd say you should get a venous duplex to rule out DVT.
either way, FEEL BETTER!!!
I'm editing because i re-read my post and I sound like a paranoid granny. SORRY! i see this stuff everyday so i always jump on posts like this. anyway, a venous duplex couldnt hurt, it would tell you if it's a hematoma too 
I do not remember banging my leg and I have no bruise. My thigh is swollen (like in a band accross my upper thigh) but it is not sensitive to the touch at all, the pain is deep within my muscle. I guess the doctor thinks that due to the lovenox, I am more succeptable to hematomas. What is a venous duplex. He said they can see what it is by doing an ultrasound
Thanks for the info
At the risk of sounding like a nervous granny, I think you should have follow-up done to BE SURE that's all it is. My mother had a DVT and they are very dangerous - they almost didn't catch hers before it was too late. Not trying to scare - just better to be safe.
Good luck & feel better.

venous duplex is an ultrasound on the veins and surrounding tissue to rule out blood clots and other abnormalities.

Re: Not sure what is going on - off to the Hematologist (UPDATED)
My husband who is not on any blood thinners got a hematoma on his thigh recently. When he washes DD's bottles he leans agains this bizaare drawer in our kitchen under the sink. Kind of strange, but it went away on it's own. It bothered him a bit too and he was quite concerned.
PS. I'm a lovenox user myself for the second time.
