The day before yesterday I faced a road accident. In the accident another side hit my leg straightly. My leg was in between both the scooties. There were a few scratches on the leg and internal injuries due to which there was swelling in the leg. Yesterday swelling was almost finished but when I went to hospital for check up he did a very tight patch up of the injured area. I just opened it after coming home because the tight patch up made a great pain as much as I started crying. After this swelling started again .Today swelling is as much that even the uninjured area is swelling. Now it is becoming more and more even the prescribed medicines are not working. Today is sunday and nobody is at home who can take me to hospital and there is no open hospital nearby where I can go now. Please help what can I do upto tomorrow.

You can use cold compress ( use ice cubes in a plastic bag and apply over the painful area. Do elevate the legs ( use pillows under the leg with good support to the knee joints ) and take sufficient rest. Go back to the doctor for further treatment. You can use 4 pills of Arnica 30 every Day 2-3 times ( it's a Homeopathic medicine ).

This is worrisome. Ask for Doppler of leg or sonography of leg. Sometimes deep vein thrombosis occurs. Keep legs elevated and keep ankle moving. Do not neglect.
