Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Just been carting and crashed at a pretty fast speed. The only thing that kept me in the cart was the steering wheel hitting my leg. I now have a large swelling on my upper thigh. I ve applied ice for twenty minutes and it s still very sore ( limping quite badly) What should I do next.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have swelling in thighs. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like soft tissue injury , fracture or hematoma . I would suggest you to keep icing on thigh , keep your leg elevated , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult general surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan x-ray or physical examination . Doctor may drain hematoma and prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for fracture .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
