What Caused Bruise On The Outer Side Of My Leg Below My Knee?
Hello, It is just a contusion after that trauma. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself. As of now, you can apply icepacks for faster recovery. Better to take bed rest for few days. If symptoms persist you can consult an orthopedician and plan for an X-ray. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
