<human>: My boyfriend tripped and hit a edge of a wall, inner bruising on arm and leg, both swelling, Knee feels like it popping, constant burning sensation above inner calf muscle unable to straighten or bend knee. What should I do to help ease the pain? Does he need to go to the hospital?
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for your query. From description, it seems to be soft tissue injury. Swelling might be due to hematoma formation(collection of blood). You need an x-ray to rule out any bony injury. I suggest you to consult an orthopaedician nearby for a detailed examination. You may get the X-ray of the area affected under his/her guidance. Beside icing and elevating it, you can take anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more concern. Warm Regards.
