What Is The Remedy For Swollen Leg Due To A Hurt?
Hello...I dropped a can of sauce on the top of my rt. foot and when I woke up the next morning the top of my foot was numb. I had no feeling in my foot for months. Gradually the feeling came back but since then I have had a swollen area on my leg just above the ankle and when I touch it it feels like a bundle of nerves tingling. Should I have this checked out?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be just soft tissue swelling and reason could be injury, try to keep the leg in elevated position, and anti-inflammatory drugs can be tried and best would be 'Tab Ibuprofen 400 mg' three times in day, if the symptoms does not improved then it is advisable to see the doctor, hope this information helps.
