Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Soreness In Leg
I fell 2 weeks ago and badly bruised my shin. The swelling has gone down and the bruising is resolving, although it has spread down my leg to my foot. I am having no pain walking. It is only sore if I lean on it.I continue to have an area on the shin that is hard and kind of numb.I assume this is a contusion with a bad bone bruise.Should I see my PCP or is this just running its course.Thanks

hi
you may apply thrombophob gel, keep leg elevated on front stool, avoid exertion.It takes some more time for resolve .You may see a doctor if any doubts, but do not worry, such injuries usually heal on own
thanks
