Suggest Remedy For Swollen Thigh
I fell today and now my thigh is very swollen not bruised I can walk having trouble sitting on that side, a little tender to walk but not painful. I am 55 years old and in good health no bone issues but my husband is concerned that I may have broken something.

hello healthcare user,
thigh swelling can be due to a fracture or soft tissue trauma..as you are able to walk then most probably its a soft tissue swelling only.i would advice you to take rest,,,elevate you limb over pillows,,apply ice on the swelling also you can take painkillers...i would also ask you to get an xray done....feel free to consult anytime..thank you and get well soon
