My boyfriend tripped and hit a edge of a wall, inner bruising on arm and leg, both swelling, Knee feels like it popping, constant burning sensation above inner calf muscle unable to straighten or bend knee. What should I do to help ease the pain? Does he need to go to the hospital?
Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Swelling might be due to hematoma formation(collection of blood). 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. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern. Warm Regards.
