Hi, Take the following measures at first-1. Cold compression over the wounded area2. Elevation of the limb above the level of heart and rest3. Get an X-ray done for-both the legs including knee and ankle joint4. You can take paracetamol 500 to reduce the pain and swelling A dent does not always mean serious injury. But get the X-ray done ASAP for confirmation. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
