• Theres no numbness or tingling thankfully. I'll be speaking to GP in the morning.

    Doctor Google seems to say some injuries like this can take 4-6 weeks to heal, so maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit since I'm 10 days in.

    Its only now that I cant get out on my bike I realise just how much I need it...

  • I dont think many people realise how bad bruising can get. Can totally understand why you are concerned. Definitely talk to your GP though. That was you can stop worrying and heal up.

  • Mine was a bleed into a muscle compartment, until it got so swollen the blood couldn’t flow and then muscle and nerves started to go necrotic.

    Compounded by a visit to a doctor in a&e who said it was just an infected bruise, not to worry and just take more ibuprofen.

    Until the leg went numb and I was told to remain as still as possible and wait for ambulance before being rushed to hospital. After the first operation I was told I might need the leg amputated.
