Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My daughter received a blow to her knee and shin area during a physical soccer game. There was some swelling under the knee and within a few days and another game her entire leg showed a lot of bruising. Two weeks later, today, much of the deep bruising is gone however there is a 3 diameter harder pocket below the knee. One trainer thinks it is compartment syndrome, another was not certain. Recomendations for tonight (she just finished another game and had it wrapped for several hours)? And assume we shoud take her in first thing on Monday?
yes. you should take a consultation from an orthopedic specialist. never ignore small injuries and never do self medication. certain times using a radiology department helps to assess the body far better than just going onto the suggestion of the trainer. as medical is a separate plafrom for understanding and helping human body than training on a ground.
