What Causes Swelling And Bruising On Shin?
My left leg below my knee is swollen and red with a sheen. My right leg has none of the symptoms. I am 64 305 lbs, diabetes 2, an receiving physical therapy for IT band syndrome on my right side. I noticed the soreness yesterday and I ran a fever yesterday. This evening it the area has gotten bigger. I did take motrin and aleve and tylenol yesterday. I did receive electrode therapy on my right leg during a PT session yesterday. Should I go to urgent care this evening.

Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
In my opinion, you seem to have infection, and with your diabetes status this becomes even more of a concern. get blood investigations done and take antibiotics after consultation with your doctor.
I hope that answers your query. If your want any more clarification, contact me back.
