Suggest Treatment For Large Scrape On Leg

I fell on my skateboard yesterday, have a large scrape on my bottom and serious pain on the right hand side? A bruise has still not shown up, but the pain makes me worry that I may have done some serious damage! is It possible that I have fractured the bone, or am I safe in assuming it is nothing but a bad bruising?

Hi

The kind of bruised skin you have ,along with the associated pain and discomfort could all point towards an underlying fracture .
It would not be good to ignore these symptoms .
You surely need to see a nearby doctor and get the area checked .
It might simply be a soft tissue injury ,but it is important to get it seen by a specialist.
