Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have severe pain in my right lower limb due to an injury at the football match. I cannot move or walk normally, which is very painful when I sit. My sensations are normal. I can feel my leg, but it is very painful. I cannot move and have pain in my right leg and the calf muscles.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq. com.

I think the soft tissues of your leg have sustained contusion due to injury. However, a bony injury can be ruled out with an X-ray. I suggest you do the following:

  1. Limb elevation and active or passive finger and toe movements.
  2. A doctor must apply the crepe bandage.
  3. Apply an ice pack.
  4. Take rest and do not move.
  5. Watch for increased swelling, excessive pain, toe or finger discoloration, and fever. If present, visit the nearest hospital immediately.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
