Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Painful Bruise And Burning Sensation On Lower Leg?
I banged my lower leg (shin area) and developed a large bruise (more reddish in color), but their is also a burning sensation in the area of the bruise (center). It comes and goes. Initially, it was somewhat painful to put pressure on that leg, but that has eased up. Basically, why does it burn (hot poker feeling)?
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got injury to your shin and you got large bruise (hematoma). If you has no fever, then no need to worry much. Hematoma gradually resolved by itself . Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. Burning sensation can be due to it being blood filled .Analgesic such as diclofenac can be taken for pain and burning sensation. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
