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.
Hello, 6 days ago I slipped outside and my right leg (below my knee) slammed into some loose rocks. It was very sore. I applied ice and elevated it which helped.
I find it is sore in the area that was injured (below knee) and sometimes it feels like it stings (just sometimes).
Do I have to worry that it's a fracture? Or should it just heal with time?
Hib Without any doubt you should get x ray knee with leg done to rule out any fracture. Besides this till you get your x ray you should walk non weight bearing on affected leg. If it is not a fracture you need not to worry just apply ice over it for a week still. Get well soon. Thank you.
