How To Treat The Swelling In Leg Caused By Kicking?
hi there, i got kicked in the lower part of my leg 6 weeks ago and it bruised and seemed to heal. It was still a bit tender but a few days ago it started swelling and now it seems to have spread up my leg a bit and down into my foot. It feels a bit lumpy in a couple of places.

Hi,
Injury to the lower part of the leg,especially the shin takes time to settle down.However you need to take an x ray to rule out bony injury as the cause of prolonged pain.If the x ray is normal,please do not worry.Just keep some ice packs over the area to reduce the inflammation.This should take care of your problem.
