What Should I Do To Treat A Hematoma Causing Pain And Burning Sensation In The Leg?

I had an injury this past Thursday. I fell on the side of a stool an caused a very large hematoma on the inside of my right leg. It’s very painful and has a burning stinging sensation when walking and sitting. I did see a dr. but all she did was give me a ask bandage to wrap around it. What should I do?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Post traumatic hematoma takes long time to dissolve. Meanwhile you should continue ice packs application as frequent as possible initial days. keep limb elevated and apply crepe bandage. Take tab trypsin chymotrypsin thrice a day as it helps in decreasing swelling. Tab Diclofenac sodium twice a day helps in relieving pain.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
