Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got large Hematoma in your leg. Fracture and compartment syndrome has been ruled out. But there are large blisters over the leg. Its treatment is elevation of limb on pillow and active toe movement. Analgesic are given to relieve pain. Vitamin B and C promote healing. Antibiotics may be needed to prevent infection. You wanted to fly. I think you can fly after 10 days. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your query.
Wishing you good health. Take care.
