Suggest Treatment For Pain And Bruising On Leg After An Injury
I was jumping around and my heel hit my shin just below the knee more medially. It sounded like bone on bone contact very loud. I looked down and a few veins were popping out about half am inch off the skin. Instantly black and blue the size of a baseball. Can you actually hear your veins burst pain contact?? I have iced and elevated since but still hurts to weight bear. It stings and hurt to touch still. Any suggestions?

You wait for 3 days. do hot fomentation and take paracetamol tabs thrice a day after meals.if pain persists go for x ray as there is sometimes periosteal injury which houses nerves leading to continuous pain ,in that case , some brace immobilization may be needed for few days.do not massage the area of bruise.
