How To Cure A Large Lump And Pain On The Leg?

Hello, I fell off a knee walker 9 days ago on the leg I was peddling with. I formed a large lump and pain. 48 hrs ago I started having new brushing in my ankle and foot, my leg is a bit red and painful. I have neuropathy quite badly so feeling this pain is unusual. Any suggestions?

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

With your history it seems that you got a hematoma (collection of blood) on your knee following the fall. Most of the hematomas could resolve by itself in a few days with a pressure bandage and some anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor as a symptomatic relief. However, in case the size of this swelling increased along with discomfort/pain, then you would have to consult an orthropedic surgeon for a clinical assessment and related investigations for an appropriate management.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
