Suggest Remedy For Bruise In Thigh

I fell really bad on my upper thigh a could weeks ago and got the worst bruise i ve ever had. Now the bruise is getting better, more yellow finally, but the middle of it is hard and kind of numb. The area around it is more tender, and if i ve been sitting for a while my whole upper leg is sore as if i ve worked out.

Hello,

Bruise is and external manifestation of subcutaneous injury that results in hemorrhage under the skin.

Bruise will grafually clears on it own in 2-3 weeks. Pain you are having is not because of the bruise but because of the original soft tissue injury that results in bruise.

All you need to do is to do some icing over the painful site and give rest to the part,if not improved in 3-5 days go for a ultrasonography.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Rohan Shanker Tiwari
