About two weeks ago I took a hard bump on the shin of my left leg. Three days later it began to swell and became sore and painful. Im wondering if this is a bone bruise, the soreness is only in the front part of my lower leg, the bump did not break the skin. What more can I do to heal the inflamation??
Hi, there! Your first action will be Ibuprofen based gel 3x per day and mild elastic bandage of lower leg to spread/compress hematoma. Be careful not to obstruct blood flow. When the hematoma spreads, You can apply heparin based gel for faster absorption of the hematoma. I hope this helps
