Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Bruised Lower Leg
I hit a small table last night with the front of my lower leg. I have some swelling and a bruise at the site of the hit over my shin bone. The lower part of my leg is painful and aches, more so when I move around. I m unsure if I would have cracked the bone, the hit was very hard I couldn t breathe from the pain, and the ache seems to radiate up my whole leg at times. I am able to bear my weight on the leg but just want to be sure the pain could be just from the impact.

Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Bruised Lower Leg
Hello, Your symptoms seem to be related to the injury. I suggest using anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen to relieve the symptoms. I also suggest using ice compresses in the area of the pain. I recommend using Voltaren gel for local application. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
