Hi I fell at work, hit my face and fell on my left side and left knee, which bruised my nose which has now healed and my knee was black and blue, but it s starting to really hurt when I walk, I strapped it up and it seemed to help, however today I got home and my leg has doubled in size my leg aches, and my ankles have disappeared! Very swollen! Do I go to the doctors? Keep putting ice on it? In need of advice-leanne
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
