How Can Pain And Tingling Sensation In The Right Leg Be Treated?

Hi, A few weeks ago I was helping my boyfriend take a motorcycle off the trailer. Unfortunately for me the bike fell and my right leg got pinned between the bike and the trailer. Then I proceeded to fall to the ground and as a went over my leg came out from between the bike and the metal side lip of the trailer. Yes it hurt, it was very sensitive to touch, sort of like I had pins & needles. It never bruised like I had expected it too, but now almost 2 weeks later the swelling around the lump ( 4 inches round) went down but the lump is still there and today, I can see it is slightly reddish pink under the skin and it feels like I have water under the skin. What should I do?

Hi,

It is nothing but a heamtoma that developed following the incident, it is a collection of blood under the skin that develop following a blunt trauma.

Nothing much to worry as most of them will settle by itself. You can apply ice-packs for faster recovery, if they symptoms persist,l better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
