Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Upper Part Of Leg After Injury
I was playing soccer right in tennis corts, so my dumb self decided to kik the ball as hard as I could but instead of kicking the ball I hit the ground, & now the upper part of my led is kinda swollen what should you suggest to put on my led & I have graduayion in 2 days
Hitting the floor while kicking the ball and causing swelling of the leg indicates that there is a chance of fracture or ligament injury somewhere unless proved otherwise. Hence, it is mandatory to have an urgent X-ray of the leg and foot in two different views. If there is a fracture then you need stabilization by cast. If there is no fracture then you need slab, support and rest also. Take a PPI Like Omeprazole and Ibuprofen if it suits you. Consult an orthopedic surgeon for further evaluation and proper management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
