Fell Down, No Bruise, Leg Aching, Using Capacin Cream And Arnica Gel. Cure?
I fell last week which was a simple fall on the sidewalk. There was no bruising nor any brakes. However, my right leg has been aching ever since. I ve been using capacin cream and arnica gel. The pain has subsided after the first night but it still aches.

Hi,
I am sorry that the pain is still present, even after using the analgesic gels. Consider taking an X-ray to rule out a hairline crack or fracture. If not, it should be strain on the tendons.
Take oral analgesics like Tylenol which are available over the counter for a few days, twice daily after food.
Adequate rest is also must.
Get well soon.
Regards,
Dr. Shanthi
