What Causes Persistent Tenderness In The Bruised Leg?
Hello I bruised my leg during MMA sparring over 3weeks ago. It s still very tender and a bring sensation tends to run through the bruise ssporadically. It s still very sensitive to the point of if I kick something (with shin guards) it becomes painful and I also feel a heated sensation. What could this possibly be.

It is quite sure that you have soft tissue injury due to bruising as a result of the sparring. Muscles, tendons or nerves of the leg could have been damaged. Please get an X Ray of the leg to rule out bone injury. If there is none, then you have to give rest to your involved leg till complete soft tissue healing, which may take 3to 4 weeks or more. Please avoid deep massage as it would further damage the soft tissues.
