Broken bone?

[DozyDoriss]

Ds 9 was carrying his scooter and it hit him in the leg, this was on Friday. He didn't tell me about it until Saturday and he had a huge bruise, he said it was really painful and was crying on the floor but still managed to get up and play a 50 minute game of football. He's been moaning about buyback weekend but we've just made him rest (he's a drama queen!)

This morning he was in pain walking to school and started crying as soon as he got there, I thought nerves as first day back. When he got home I looked at his leg and its swollen quite a lot.

Does anyone think it may be broken?? The bruise is on his inner right leg just a love his ankle

How is he today op?

Have you been to a and e with him? With that level of pain, plus bruising and swelling and pain on weight bearing it would be worth getting it checked.

He's a lot better with it, not moaning and the bruise is going yellow, but it's still swollen.

I'm hesitant about going to a&e with him because we've been loads over nothing! He is a big drama queen, we had to go in July to get splinters removed!

Ds leg is still swollen, most of the bruising has gone now. How long should swelling last for? He's not in any pain now thank fully, just has a big lump on his leg
