Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling In Between Knee Cap And Ankle After A Fall?
I fell on concrete over a month ago. My right leg between the knee cap and ankle swelled. I put an ice pack on and off for two days. My leg gradually turned black and blue all the way down to my toes. I still have a lump on my leg that is tender and occasionally will get a sharp pain in the area. It has not prevented me from carrying on my daily activities, but I m concerned about the hard lump still remaining. What is causing this and what can be done to solve the issue? I had an Xray and there is no fracture, etc.
hey there, the lump on your leg can be due to internal bleeding. it can be surgically removed. your leg requires an examination by a doctor. regards Dr Suyash
