How To Check For A Fracture On Leg After An Injury?
I m debating on going to the ER or keep waiting to see if the icing and elevation is working. A trash can weighing around 280-300lbs. fell on my lower right leg when I slipped trying to pull it. I have an indentation on my skin that is deep and a large bruised area. My question - what are the chances of it being a fracture or just a severe contusion with indentation??
