I have a severely bruised leg, lots of colors and lots of pain, from falling on !


Question: I have a severely bruised leg, lots of colors and lots of pain, from falling on an ice cube!.!?
It's been almost a week!. Think deep purple bruise about a foot high and all around my knee and upper thigh!. I keep ice on the leg, take Motrin, and elevate as much as I can!. It is getting better because today I was able to walk up and down steps!. The swelling seems worse, but the pain seems better!. Is there any thing else I should be doing!? Thanks for trying to help!Www@Answer-Health@Com

No you are doing all you can!!

Buy some Witch Hazel and pour a load on regularly!.

No point applying ice now as the bleeding will have stopped anyway!.

You need warmth on the affected area to get the blood flowing to wash away the bruising!. Ice will simply slow down the blood flow, won't help the muscles any!.!. and will certainly not help the bruising go away!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had an awful bruise a month ago and I used a poultice made of Arnica (an herb) and it reduced the swelling and the bruise dramatically! You can find products for this at a herbal or health food store!. I really recommend it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

watch out next time!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
