How To Treat For The Pain In My Thigh Caused By A Hit?
Hi Doctor:
I was hit with an elbow very hard in my thigh last night (front right). The pain was excruciating and I collapsed. It's been incredibly painful. Hurts to walk, bend, any pressure near the injury. However there is no bruising. I'm not sure if this is considered a Charley horse. What signs should I be looking for in the event a serious injury has occurred and what steps should I take to treat myself? At the time of the incident the pain traveled straight to my groin (which has ceased) and to my knee. I am unable to sleep and laying on my back for short periods of time seems most comfortable. Any thoughts? This has never happened to me before. Thank you. --Prinda

Hello,
That pain is due to contusion. If you can bear weight and walk now then no need to worry. Just apply ice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
