How Can Thigh And Foot Pain Caused By An Injury Be Treated?

I fell from a stool while standing on my tip toes cleaning a ceiling fan. I landed on my right leg. It has hurt me ever since. A deep pain in the outside of my thigh. Hurts when I sit, stand and lay down. I cannot pivot on my right foot or cross my leg over my left leg. What have I done?

Hello
I have studied your case history.

Traumatic injury can lead to thigh and leg bone injury..
If there is fracture in your leg bone then it is difficult to walk on it
You will need X ray of knee and thigh.
Clinical examination is important to rule out knee or ankle ligament injury

For these symptoms analgesic and medication can be started.

Till time take medication like analgesic and apply crepe bandage over leg or use supportive splint. Do ice fomentation and rest to thigh.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
