Thigh Injury Due To Fall, Severe Bruising, Pain On Touching. Healing Time?
I am new to xxxxxx. Approximately 1 month ago I fell hard (on a concrete floor) twice in one night on the exact same spot (back of thigh, very high). As expected I got a pretty large, severe bruise . The discoloration has gone away but it is still very painful to touch. I just fell on it again last night and it is even more painful now although no visible bruising . Can I expect it to stop hurting at some point?

From description it seems to be soft tissue injury .
You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury.
I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance.Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory drug like motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Avoid putting weight and rest well.
