Hi this time last week I fell over. I am 30 years old and extremely obese. I landed on my right knee/shin although my shin took most of the fall. Instantly the area went numb, two days later I went to a and e to get it checked and they said that it would take weeks for the feeling to come back and bruising to go.
Initially it only jury if poked :)
Today I have been experiencing a seering pain within the shin when my leg is bent like when sitting anxieties only relieved by walking or lifting the leg straight.
Also when I touch one are area of the numbness I get a tingling sensation somewhere else.
The other thing is I had a small blue splodge on my leg already which I presumed might be the beginnings of a varicose vein or something this has now grown in size although the skin is still smooth, it looks more like a bruise, except I know it was there alreAdy.
Do you think I should go back to the gp just to check things are ok?
Generally I'm in health wise except for being fat and .pre diabetic
