Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling On Leg
I am an active 51 year old female. I hit my right leg right below my knee to the right and seems to be right on a vein. It ballooned up and it hurts really bad. Should I go to a physician? I have applied ice and have elevated it. I have also taken an Aspirin just to be on the safe side in case of blood clot.

The swelling and pain is due to the trauma..you may take a combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol twice a day for 4 days and continue applying ice over the area....if you still find a problem you may visit a physician but this will definitely help you....hope this will be helpful to you...thanks
