A member asked:
My femoral artery at the top of my left leg suddenly feels bruised and maybe a bit swollen. it is painful to squat but not walk. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Artery swollen: Seek medical attention immediately, like today. The femoral artery travels with the femoral vein in the femoral sheath, so it may be a femoral vein clot which is a medical emergency .seek attention immediately

I have somehow injured my left ankle. I'm not sure if it is sprained, or there's a hairline fracture, as it's so painful even to bear weight on it or walk. I am limping very badly. It is very swollen, bruised and tender to the touch. Please help me?
