How To Treat The Pain And Swelling Caused In The Inner Thigh After A Strain?
I strained my groin playing soccer (I am 44) three weeks ago. I had severe bruising and a lot of pain and swelling from my inner thigh to my waist line for two weeks. Three weeks later I still have pain. As the bruising subsided by my groin it began to go down my leg and has settled behind my knee and seems to be going down my calf. My knee now is in a lot of pain and can not bend completely. I have been putting ice on it, but it does not seem to help. I did not injure my knee in the fall. Is there anything else I can do to help the bruising go away.

You must consult a physician for check up preferably orthopaedic to evaluate physically whether hip or knee are affected due to muscular deep bruising and cellulitis over back of knee and thighs.
Antiinflammatories medications,some immobilisation or rest, local antiinflammatories gel application,antibiotics may be needed if some hematoma infection present
