Fell And Bruised My Lower Leg, Had A Numb Spot In That Place Which Is Deeper. Worried About The Findings?
Hi! About 6 years ago, I fell down the stairs and bruised my lower leg. Ever since then I have had a numb spot on my lower leg of about two inches in width and height. I don't have any trouble walking but there is a 'line' on my leg right above the spot that is somewhat deeper than the rest of my leg. Should I be worried?
Hello friend, Since the accident occurred 6 years back, there is nothing to be worried. Because your body has got a better doctor inside who is more intelligent than all the doctors in the world living and dead. You can call that doctor god if you are a believer, or nature if you are not a believer. We Homoeopaths call that powerful entity the vital force. What ever has happened within your body following the injury is only for your betterment. The numb spot after the injury is very likely to follow an affection on the nerves at the area. Let it remain there because it will take more time for the fresh enervation of the area. Once the nerve injury has occurred in the area, there is less chance of muscular activity of the affected muscles and muscular atrophy may follow. This we call as misuse atrophy. Muscles can become emaciated at a limited affected area you explain thereby there is chance of getting a depressed spot as explained in your question. You have got nothing to be worried about. I am a Homoeopath and I can suggest you to approach an expert Homoeopath if you decide to consult a doctor personally because in Homoeopathy, there are very good remedies for injuries and their bad effects even though chronic. Best wishes for a healthy future. Dr. C. J. Varghese Homoeopath
