What Is The Sore On My Legs After I Fell Over A Stack Of Bricks?

i fell about 1 week ago over some a stack of bricks. Most of my weight landed on my knees. Knees were pretty brusied but that seems to be getting better. Still very tender. Now I have some swelling in my legs and it looks like I have bruises around both ankles. Legs have really sore the whole time.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury.
X ray of the knee joint & ankle joint will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals).
Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in diet which will help in strengthening of bones.
Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.

If symptoms still persist, kindly consult an Orthopedician for proper clinical examination.
Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing a Good Health.
Take care.
