What Causes Hot, Painful And Numb Leg After An Injury?

I recently fell onto a bicycle after someone crashed their bike while I was running behind them. My leg is partially numb and partially in intense pain. The ER said they expected a fracture that they didn t think an x-ray would show, took an x-ray couldn t see anything and sent me home. My leg is hot, numb, very painful and can barely bend. Any suggestions for a road to recovery?!?!

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Most fractures including hairline fractures can be detected on X ray. If your X ray is clear then there is no fracture but you have got soft tissue injury. Hotness and pain is due to inflammation.follow the following things.
1. Give rest to the injured leg.
2. Do hot fomentation to it.
3. Take tab. Singoflam twice daily
4. Avoid stress on affected leg.
