Could my leg be broken/fractured?!


Question: Could my leg be broken/fractured!?
I was skim boarding at the beach on Saturday and took a nasty fall!. I went inside immediately and elevated and iced it for the rest of the night!. I noticed that it had a huge goose-egg like bulge on it at that point!. On Sunday morning it hurt to even bear weight on it so i elevated it most of that day too but the bulge had gone down to swelling and a terrible bruise!. Then today it is basically the same as it was yesterday (Sunday) and ive got it under a heating pad now!. Before I go to the doctor or an urgent care office tonight, I would like to know if it is more than likely just a bruise on the bone or if it is something a little more serious that needs to be checked out!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ur leg is definitely broken or fractured!. I just broke my ankle and i had the same syptoms as u did!. U should really go see ur doctor and try not to put any weight on it!. hope it gets better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'd say it's broken, my friend did something similar skateboarding, and nobody thought it was broken, but it turned out it was broken in 3 different places :S I fell on friday but my knee cap was hanging off so it was kinda obvious something was wrong!.
I'd check it out sooner rather than later, the downside is, you'll end up with your leg in plaster if it is!? Mind you I'm not a doctor so i can say, but get it checked out or you could end up with more serious damage
Tell me how it goes xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Having broken many, many bones in my body my advice to you is to GET IT CHECKED OUT!.

Trying to guess yourself is useless!. If it's broken, and you guess that it isn't, it can still heal!.!.!.the bone will just heal incorrectly and will give you pain for years!.

It's worth it just to get the x-ray!. Plus, then you get pain meds ;)Www@Answer-Health@Com

can u walk on it or put any pressure on it without practically screaming!? if not, it might be broken!. it sounds like it's fractured though, i would suggest arranging a visit with the doctor or going to a walk-in-clinic or even the emergency room!. that last one can be quite a wait though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well, obv get it checked at by a professional!.

Given what you've said, and that you have some mobility - and your toes work fine(!?) I think it might be just a bruising, or hairline -- but that can cause even worse problems if not treated properly, so get some1 to look at it!.

Do it soon!. No point in risking your health needlessly!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It may not be broken just bruised but if it has a sharp jabbing pain there is quite a good chance you broke/fractured your leg!.I would suggest seeking medical attention as quick as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If you haven't been able to walk on it for almost three days you need to see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
