Hi.  I accidentally fell down the stairs about 6 weeks ago and severely bruised the back of my thigh (think about the size of your hand).  It has faded considerably and a light yellow area can be seen where the bruise used to be.  Ive still got some sensitivity in that area.  How much longer should I be having this pain?
Hello, What I can infer from your injury is that it was a soft tissue injury which is healing slowly. I think six weeks is an ideal time for it to heal. The sensitivity what you are experiencing is present during the healing phase the skin changes can sometimes take up to three months to completely go. I think a wait for two weeks more and then consult your physician again. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
