Suggest Remedy For Fluid Filled Bruises On Shin

I injured my shin a few months ago and was badly bruised for weeks. It has since healed and now I seem to have fluid that seems to build up at the end of each time I get off of work. I work in the offshore industry and my job is very physical while being on my feet all day.

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you injured your shin a few months ago and was badly bruised for weeks. Now it has healed but there occur edema build up at the end of each time you get off of work.Treatment of it is rest and mobilization exercises of leg ,ankle and calf muscles.Keep leg elevated on pillow at night and resting time. As far as possible avoid keeping limb dependent(keep it elevated).Use elastic crepe bandage during walking and working. Analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals) can be used for pain. Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
