I fell the other day and have a bruise on my leg and I went to the doctor to check it out just to make sure I didnt have a blood clot and he gave me 600mg of Motrin now my ankle is red, warm, and tender to the touch but I do do not know why. Do you know what it could be?
Hi. This looks to be spreading infection - cellulitis, and you need to be started on antibiotics also. Elevate the leg above the heart level in lying down position to reduce the edema and spread of infection.
