Have Bruising And No Feeling In The Calf Area

Horse jumped on my leg :-(. I have no broken bones but severe bruising and one area of my leg on my calf muscle has no feeling at all ... My leg is purple except the one bit with no feeling which is white. Accident and emergency said probably damaged nerves and not to worry but I have weird sensations in my leg like someone turning on a hot tap when I stand up ...

Hi,Welcome to Health care magic forum.
It appears that you have a crushed injury,with crush of muscles, and nerves.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
You may need to have a MRI for diagnosis . If distal pulses are abscent you may require to have color doppler.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods till the pains are completely controlled.
don't worry you will have the recovery of the sensations by regeneration of the nerves.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
