Suggest Treatment For Numbness From Hip Down To Foot With Some Pain

About an hour ago I fell and hit my shin on the privacy fence in my yard there s no lacerations but the lump is huge and I m having numbness from my hip down to my foot with some pain. It doesn t hurt to walk just a little uncomfortable. we don t have insurance right now and I really don t want to go to the hospital for that reason. could you tell me what I should do? What could be wrong?

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,Thanks for your query.After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your shin and you got hematoma. If you has no fever, then no need to worry much. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it.Ice fomentation is useful .You can take analgesic such as diclofenac three times a day to relieve pain.X - ray of part can be done to exclude fracture. Sometimes haematoma does not resolve by themselves. In these cases aspiration with wide bore needle is done to suck the collected blood under aseptic condition for which you need to visit doctor. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.I do hope that you have found something helpful.If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries
