Hello

Welcome to HCM

According to history provided by you,It seems you are suffering from thigh hematoma.

If such patient comes to me then advice him/her following points

1. No hot fomentation
2. Avoid movements of thigh with leg in elevated position
3. Ice compression
4. Pain killers if necessary
5. Use of crutches

Only compartment syndrome is matter of concern in such cases hence I would advice you to visit nearby orthopaedician for further evaluation and management.

Hope I have solved your concern.For any further question you can contact me.

Thank you

Regards
Dr.Om
