10 Months Ago I Feel And Then My Father On
Question: 10 months ago I feel and then my father on top of me. When he did his knee slammed into my lower leg above my ankle. There is still a bruise that sometimes produces small ulceration and it is slightly swollen beneath it. On the exact place on the other side this a large dent in my leg. When I went to the ER they X-rayed my leg but the report said they Xrayed my knee and made no mention of the lower leg. I was wondering if this could have possibly been a fracture?
Brief Answer:
Fracture is unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Fracture is very very unlikely.
If you have a fracture near the ankle joint, you will be not be able to walk properly and there will be enormous pain and swelling at the area also.
Most probably it will be a contusion.
As of now you can try over the counter available analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can also apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Thanks
