Suggest Treatment For Swollen Bruise On Leg
I have a fairly large bruise on my leg that is swollen and makes it painful to walk. I m trying to keep it elevated and only walking when necessary, but it is still burning and throbbing most of the time. When should I be concerned enough to see a doctor?
