Suggest Treatment For Bruise On The Leg Causing Pain And Swelling
I bumped my leg about a month ago and a large hard swollen area formed with some bruising. It has been very slow to heal and still has swelling and a hard knot in the area. Today I bumped my arm and the same thing is happening. I am female and will be 62 in a month.
Hi dear thanks for writing to healthcare magic.. I advise first of all to get the x ray done to check for any fracture and internal damage. also follow this advise: 1) raise your leg to improve the circulation 2) Take tab Hifenac P for relief of pain 3) Tab FLEXON MR to reduce the swelling 4) Take hot water shakes 2-3 times a day on affected area 5) Consult orthopaedics if there is significant damage comes in X ray Hope this information helps Thanks and regards Dr.Sohil Takodara
