I fell climbing a fence, and my thigh landed on the edge of a wood platform. It was terribly swollen and bruised for weeks and I could not return to physical activities until almost two months later. I never saw a doctor, but now 5 months later I still have a huge dent in my leg where I fell. Can this be fixed? Should I see a doctor?
Hi.if I were you. ThenI would like to meet an orthopedic and get a complete examination of the thigh done.until then... Keep it safe without bearing weight for some time and kept it wrapped with a compression bandage...keep it raised... You might have a fracture or a muscle contusion injury that require some repair and assistance. If is not healing properly, it will a pain and nuisance and warrants again a lot it times and procedure to make it heal... Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need further clarification...
