Leg bruising and swelling after a Fall
I tripped and fell on Saturday Feb 24, 2018, landing on my right knee and shin. Kept the leg iced and elevated for 24 hours. Pain was handled with 2 325mg aspirin tablets and 2 200mg ibuprofen tablets every 4 hours. Now, 5 days later, the bruising is surrounding my shin , and is warm to the touch. The pain is more severe now that it was after the first 24 hours. Swelling has increased and the stretching of the skiin is uncomfortable. What should I do?
