Is A Swollen And Numb Spot After Fall A Soft Tissue Injury/ Nerve Damage?
Played broomball two days ago, tripped and fell on another person's metal stick, that was at an angle. There was immediate pain but now in the middle of my array of bruises, there is a spot on my leg that is slightly swollen and numb. I can feel pressure but that is about it. Is this soft tissue injury or nerve damage?
