How Can Soreness In The Leg After An Injury Be Treated?
I fell and hit my topside of my foot in the beginning of February, I still have bruising on the top of my foot and across the top and side is noticeably bigger than my other foot, I have noticed on the same side my lower leg has a definite long bruise which is tender, the soreness from when it happened has never gone away and I find my self limping often.

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM
Since you continue having pain and, bruising and swelling after the injury, it is recommended to get a Xray done to rule out underlying fracture.
Please be advised to follow up with an orthopedician to get a Xray done.
Meanwhile, apply ice and take ibuprofen (if not allergic) for pain. Elevate the affected leg and take adequate rest.
Hope this answers your question
