Bruised Knees From Airbags In A Car Accident, Pain In The Legs. What To Do?
I was in a car accident 4 weeks ago. The knee bolster airbag deployed. I was wearing a skirt and nylons. The airbag caused extensive bruising from my knees to my ankles, all along the front of both legs. The bruising is not gone, but both legs still hurt, the big muscle that goes along the outside of my calf . What can I do?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
As you had accident and hurt your legs, it is obvious you have damaged your muscles and bones. You can take over the counter analgesics to relieve pain and ice packing may also help you. It takes time to heal a tissue.
You are advised to visit a doctor and perform x-ray and physical examination to rule out any fracture,muscle or tendon tear.
Hope it helps.
Wishing you speedy recovery.
Take Care!
