Suggest Remedies For Sore Bruise On The Leg After A Fall?
I fell and tripped two nights ago hit my head and my left leg. My head bruised on the top of my forehead and is some painful to the touch on my head. However my left top part of my leg has a huge warm to the touch bruise that is very painful. It hurts If anything touches it. It s between red and purple in color and is at least as large as the palm of my hand. What can I do to make it feel some better ?

Hello,
If the sore bruise is associated with a swelling then a hematoma is likely. You need to get an X-ray done to rule out any bone injury. Doing a cold compress can help in reducing any further bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
