I dropped a 42lb metal box on my leg neat my ankle at work about a week ago. As soon add it happens I had a huge lump and discoloration (red) I iced and elevated that night. Next day lump went down and no bruises. It still has a small lump and is painful. My work shoes sometimes bump it but other than that I haven t got it again or anything like that. I was curious to know how I can help it heal and how long it should take.
Thanks for sharing your health concern with us!well, it is just an organized hematoma and not to worry much for this. You continue to press ice-cubes or cold compress and if not relieving within 7 days then consult some surgeon for aspiration of the material inside; never poke it as this may invite infection! All the best!
