Hi, during P.E class we were playing soccer & this girl fell and then I tripped over her leg and fell as well, but it was more of a kneel and when I got home I noticed my leg was swollen. This incident happened yesterday and it s still swollen, what should I do ?
Thanks for consulting me at virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Its due to soft tissue injury and haematoma/oozing of blood and accumulation of mediators and product of inflammation which leads to swelling. Apply heat. Apply Voltaren Gel 4times a day. It will go away soon.
