Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Bruising After Leg Injury
I fell in a pool last week and my leg hurt immediately I m back of thigh. I can put weight on it but it is turning blue/black all over my leg even in the front. It is swollen. I can walk/hobble. I m worried about the fluid re tension in my leg. Been treating with rest, ice elevation and compression. No doctor tho.
I suggest you to take: 1. T.Diclofenac for 5 days 2. Diclomax gel massage with ice 3. X-ray leg Antero Posterior and Lateral view If symptoms persist, kindly consult an orthopedist.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini, General & Family Physician
