A member asked:

My leg hurts still from a hit and swells up, what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vascular damage: It is hard to tell but from your description there may be damage to blood vessels such as veins, that might initiate intermittent swelling. Your physician should be able to help identify tests that might clarify the swelling. These would be called vascular tests.
