Hi there, yesterday my leg fell in between a tail lift & mini bus & within minutes a bruise appeared on inner lower leg & swelling around the bruise. I then got pain on my inner upper leg with no visible signs of an injury. I am in quite a lot of pain. What is your advice?
Hi, It appears like you had internal bleeding and now a clot/hematoma has been formed at the injury site. There is no need to worry as it will heal by itself (resolve). You need to take painkillers such as Diclofenac sodium to get relief from pain. Also, if any abrasions/bruise is seen on your leg, get a TT injection (tetanus), if you haven't had one in the past 5 years. The wound should heal in around 5-7 days, failing which you may visit your treating doctor. Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubts. With warm regards,
