Months After Accident, Is Bruising And Swelling Of Lower Limbs Normal?
I was in a car crash four months ago and took a huge impact to my right leg. Although the initial bruising subsided it still hurts and keeps swelling. From time to time the bruising also appears again. I algorithm get a tight feeling and intermittent pins and needles from shin to ankle.

Hi
After going through your query it seems you had suffered injury to nerve(common peroneal nerve) which lies at outer and lower half of knee.Are you able to walk on your toes and heels? If yes then take vitamin B12 after consultation with your doctor.
Take care and wish you good health.
