Suggest Treatment For Swelling In Leg After An Injury
I got hit pretty hard just under my knee on Friday with a Softball. It immediately swelled about the size of a Softball, literally. It is a third of that now but most of my leg down to my ankle is still swollen and very bruised. Should I get anyone to look at it? On vacation now.

Hello,
As what I feel it this will be a fascia injury and with hot water fermentation and keeping the leg elevated over a pillow in lying position should help reduce the swelling sooner.
In case if the swelling doesn't come down you can visit an orthopedist and take up an x-ray.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
