Lower Leg Bruised, Feels Tight While Walking, Mild Pressure
Hi I hit my shin pretty hard a week ago. Now most of my lower leg.is.bruised. mostly around the inside of my ankle . It does not hurt to put pressure on my leg and I have full motion in my ankle. It feels tight when I walk and my leg feels like there is.mild pressure. Should I be concerned?
Helloo.. Thank you for choosing HCM. There's no reason to be concerned about , once the scab falls of and is replaced by normal skin you should be ok , the tightness is due to wound contracture which is normal. Thank you and take care
I have read your symtoms and its suggests that there may be collection of blood in your leg.I would suggest you to undergo Ultrasound and x-ray of your leg and till the time report is available,I would you to do cold formentation and painkillers.Sometimea there are chances of infection.
Get well soon.
Get back to me once the report is available on drrakeshrana1975@gmail.com.
