Suggest Remedy For Swelling In Leg
I hit the bottom of me leg (below my shin) last night. It was before my athletics. It didn t hurt then so I still competed. After the athletics when I got home, it started to hurt terribly and swell. It s the next morning now and it is still swollen and sore.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, RICE is the cure for you
R- Rest
I - Ice fomentation
C- compression by a crepe bandage,
E- elevate the limb.
a screening by X Ray may be considered if it does not settle in a day or two.
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
