Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Bruised Legs
A bad fall several days ago left both legs severely bruised (one more than the other). Now experiencing burning sensations where the bruises are in addition to rather bad swelling of both legs. Been to the walk-in. They gave generic vicodin and told me to ice them 3x/day and try to stay off my feet. But the swelling hasn t gone down at all.

hi,
thank you for providing a brief history of you. as you mentioned all proper guidance have been given to you with perfection. For swelling I will recommend you to just keep the legs on the pillow while you are lying down. in that position you can do simple ankle toe movements as long as you can do and as long as you can repeat in the day. icing will also help to heal the wound and reduce pain as well.
with the grace of God I wish you a speedy recovery.
