What Causes Swelling And Cold Sensation In The Leg After An Accident?
I was in a bad car wreck August of last year. I almost lost my leg. I'm fully healed now. But about 3 days ago my leg swelled up. It tingles sometimes. Other time it feels like something stung me. Then I have a strange cold feeling go down my leg. I'm very concerned about this.
