Hi sir, my lower right shin received a bad hit few weeks back. It became swollen, red and is numb. It hurts if you press the area and it feels a bit heavy when i stand. I have visited an orthopedist and followed his instructions. He told me to apply a warm wet cloth in on the area and keep it elevated. The shin cured a bit but a few days back it became worse than before. What is your advice?
Hello, I have studied your case and I think that you have a soft tissue injury with blood collection in this region. I would suggest you to continue with hot water fomentation and apply compression bandage. Also, you can take NSAID like broken for pain and swelling. Avoid standing for long time and when you are sleeping keep your leg is elevated over pillow. I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
