Any doctors around? Intense burning in leg a week after fall

3 replies

I had a fall last week (non snow related) and quite a nasty cut to my leg, bruising to the other.

A couple of days later both legs were aching (like they might two days after very heavy exercise) and since then when I touch a certain spot under my cut knee on the worst leg, it feels almost like it is the top of a longer nerve running to the right side (below knee and to front 'calf' area)causing a slight burn. My legs are still a bit bruised.

Today (9 days later) I knelt down for the first time and a sharp, searing pain, an intense burn shot through the inside whole area, like a much deeper version of the slight burn.

What might this be? A torn ligament?

I would be concerned about a blood clot. You need professional advice ASAP.

I’m not medical but would call 111 for advice now incase you need treatment /to be seen sooner than tomorrow.

They could advise you whether it can wait or not.
