Suggest Remedy For Sprained Ankle And Swelled Legs After Falling Down
Hello, My husband is a diabetic and he fell and sprained his ankle. He also hurt his leg to where it was bleeding and is scratched pretty bad. He also has a big knot and blood under the skin. We felt his legs and they are tight and swollen. Should we go to the emergency room now or wait to go to urgent care Sunday morning?

Hello,
Based on your description of your husbands complaints, I would suggest you to visit emergency room to get an x ray done and rule out bony injuries.
This is more needed as he is diabetic. In emergency room they will be able to know if there is bony injury and also will immobilise the injured limb and maybe send you home.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Santosh S Jeevannavar
