Suggest Medication For An Injury On The Leg Caused By A Fall
I fell down some stairs in our camper and hurt my right leg pretty bad. It has been hurting bad since then now it has a large very hard knot on the area and feels kinda warm and red. The rest of my calf is bruised. I have put ice on it and it is still very painful! Any help would be very helpful.

a bruise and redness with tenderness, suggest a local haematoma( local collection of blood) under the area of impact. A soft tissue injury which resolves on its own by a month.
An imp thing is to rule out any fracture. Therefore, an XRay is must. Do consult an orthopedician for timely management.
pain can be delt with pain killers like tab voveron bd for a week.
