What Causes Bruising And Tenderness In The Leg After Injury?
Damaged leg 3 days ago playing a sport s game! Black bruising arrived and area has become extremely tender,felt a bit dizzy and sick on the second day and have a bit of a Temprature today ! Could this be more than a pulled muscle because of a temperature and no improvement of injury
Hello, Thank you for your query. Yes, it could be a fracture or severe muscle injury
I recommend : -a physician consult -x-rays of the injured area -apply ice over the swelling. -keep the injured leg elevated above hip level. -blood tests (complete blood count, Creatinine levels, myoglovin levels) -urine analysis.
Please also drink plenty of water.
Based on the above, a diagnosis and treatment will be Initiated. I urge you to seek medical attention right away. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Hope you feel better soon
