Suggest Treatment For Painful Bruise On Lower Leg

Hey I was being a idiot and hit my lower leg on the top of a kitchen chair. It s been two days thinking it would be a bruise I let it be. But it s been two days and my feel a cold sensation sometimes when I walk. When I hit it I didn t hear a crack. I just had a bruise like pain. With a little bit of a sharp pain but not to painful. I just got up and brushed it off and iced it for at least 1 hour and 30 mins. I touch my lower leg and it feels numb with a bit of bruising pain.i feel my bone but it s all in line I don t feel a crack or fracture. I ve looked up my symptoms and some say its a blood clot and that you could die from that. Is it serious to a point where I need to go visit my doctor??

you are having bruise on leg. you need ice fomentation for first 48 hr. After 48 hr you do hot fomentation. Do not worry it would be clear in one to two weeks without any harm.
