Should I Be Concerned About Swelling And Discoloration On The Leg After An Injury?
I fell against metal and hit my upper inner thigh and leg between my knee and ankle. The thigh is black an blue. My leg is swollen below my knee to my toes and turning black and blue. I ve been on my feet walking a lot. Any thoughts? Or should I be concerned since I m seeing more swelling and black and blue? Thanks!

Hello,
The swelling and discolouration are suggestive of a hematoma formation. This can be due to a bone injury and needs proper examination to find the extent of injury.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
