What Is The Swelling And Numbness At The Site Of Injury?

I have a bruise on my shin from a collision in a soccer match. It is just below my knee, but not on it. It is VERY swollen and an area about 2cm by 4cm feels similar to when your foot has gone numb. I don t feel pain unless I exercise or apply a lot of pressure. When I apply pressure I don t feel my fingers on the surface, but I feel the pressure deeper down. Should I be concerned? And is there anything I can do to make the nasty contusion go away?

Hi
Thanks for your query and welcome to healthcaremagic. I have gone through your query and understand your concern. I think you are having contusion. Treatment of this is icing, elevation and analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. There is not much to worry. It will take its own course to resolve. You can discuss with your doctor about it.
Hope your query get answered. If you have any other don't hesitate to write to us.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
