Suggest Treatment For Numbness On The Leg After Falling Down

I fell on the front of my right leg/knee on some hard rough concrete a few days ago. i have a small wound 4 inches below the knee cap. I felt sick to my stomach for about an hour but was able to walk on it. It never turned black and blue. The next day it felt great. Now the front of my leg is simi numb and tingling but my calf is fine.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have numbness on the leg after falling down. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve injury , hematoma , inflammation or fracture . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , or X-ray along with physical examination . Doctor may give plaster , prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory . Doctor may also drain the hematoma or prescribed anticoagulant . For now apply cold compresses and keep your leg elevated.

Hope your concern has been resolved.
