Suggest Treatment For Pain In Leg Post Injury

Posted on Wed, 3 Dec 2014

Question: I was getting out of my car and i opened the door and it swung back and hit the bone running down the front of my leg. There is no swelling and I can walk but every now and then I feel a little throbbing and then it goes away. The bone seems to be alright and no bruising. It didn't hit my leg hard. What could the little throbbing be? It hit the middle of the bone.

Brief Answer:
Nerve injury

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

The throbbing pain is most likely to be a nerve injury because of the trauma. It will subside on its own in one to week's time. No treatment is required for this. However if the throbbing increases along with pain I suggest you to meet an orthopedics as soon as possible.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
