Got Into An Accident. Leg Got Bruised From Knee To Ankle. Seems To Have An Odd Bruise. Can T Walk Normally. Suggestions?
I was in a four wheeler wreck and got knocked out. My right leg on th calf had several bumped up places on it and bruised from knee to ankle. Now 3 days later they are getting smaller but the biggest one has an odd bruise in a thin straight line from top of calf to ankle. I can walk on it very easily but not normal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A bruise extending from knee till ankle is likely to be due to a large hematoma. Since it is painful on weight bearing, a bone injury is likely. An X-ray is needed to find out the injury you have suffered.
