Suggest Remedies For A Numb Lump On My Leg

hi there, I fell awkwardly on my leg 2 weeks ago. at first the whole of my bottom leg was black and blue and I struggled to walk for 2 days. However, the pain is now minor but there is still a very large numb lump and am just wondering if I should get this checked out or is this just normal?

Hi. It is most likely a hematoma or a colection of blood where you got hurt. It should resolve over a few weeks depending on the size. But there is no harm in getting it checked by your Doctor specially because you mention it is numb which is not characteristic of a hematoma. Do let us know if we can help or guide you further. Take care.
