so at school the playground was frosty and me and some other kids were going down the slide i was at the bottom so i ran up the steps and hit my leg in front and its making that leg cold and numb to the toe's is that normal should i see a doctor or some one who is a nurse i cant fell any thing in that spot only coldness and numbness
I have a similar bruise from motorcycling. I went to urgent care and he said it was just from the swelling that I was numb, and wasn't even concerned enough to check that bruise out (I had several others from 3 crashes that day) I wouldn't worry too much.
Thanks for the advice. I'll make an appointment in a day or so if this doesn't get any better. I hadn't seen a doctor about it at all, so I don't know about a hairline fracture. I haven't been taking aspirin, as I know that can make bruises worse. I was icing it, but not elevating it when I slept. I'll do that now too and see if it helps.
Hi, this could be due to swelling only, try anti inflammatory drugs along with ice compressions. Also, keep your limb elevated during sleep (put cushion under leg). I hope you are not on aspirin tablets.
What about X ray, was any hair line fracture observed on X ray?
Hello Dawn166
It seems to be some nerve injury causing the numbness.You should consult an orthopedic physician and get an evaluation done.There could be some ligament or tendon sprain with the nerve entrapment which requires complete evaluation.
