Hello! So earlier, I was standing on a chair and tripped on my shoelace. My calves smashed into the chair in front of me, sending at first shooting pains up my legs, then when I stood up I could ve sworn my legs were broken. My right leg was very weak, and I could hardly stand on it. This was about two hours ago, now I have a large bump on my right leg. I feel fine now, but I just wanted to assure that I d be okay? I ve heard that weakness could mean nerve damage, so I was concerned about that... thank you!
Hi, Apply cold pack immediately as it will decrease the pain and swelling. Don't walk, just lie down. If tomorrow also is you feel pain, swelling and tenderness (pain in touching), then visit an orthopedic. You may require medical attention as hairline fractures and third grade sprain require medical attention and ignoring them can make things go worse. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
