What Causes Pressure And Burning Sensation After Falling On My Leg?

So I slipped on my floor last night and a bad fall hit my ribs on a chair.. they are sore but not the problem. I fell hard on my left leg. I have some swelling of course no bruising. I can walk on it but not full pressure. I have a burn sensation and tingling feeling. I feel pressure like something is pushing towards the out side of my leg. Pain around the knee... I have never broke or fractured anything. What do you think? Thanks Doc

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got fall by slip on ground. It may be a muscular and soft tissue injury. However you should get chest x ray done to exclude rib fracture and leg fracture. Treatment of it is rest, icing and analgesics (diclofenac ). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside also give relief. Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care.
