Suggest Treatment For Painful Bruise On Upper Thigh Post Injury

Im worried about my left upper thigh. i was riding behing my friend on the bike just standing on it. We fell but my thigh got caught onto the back whell and grabbed a good chunk and gashed inwards as the bike was still going forward. The next day i got a bruise which was painful. After a week has passed the color started to come back but i felt a small lump. the problem is i cant feel any sense of touch when i pressure the lump at all! I can feel around the lump but as i pressure it all the way, there is no type of tingle or nerve. Please help me!

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have got injury to your thigh due to fall from the bike. It is hematoma formation leading to bruise. It will gradually resolve. No need to worry much. You are worried about numbness and loss of sensation in the area of bruise. I think it is due to injury to cutaneous nerve leading to sensory loss. Mecobalamine will help in recovery. It will gradually resolve. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
