Is it normal for a bruised leg to still be sore (sensitive to the touch) after 8 months?

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Bruised leg: It depends what you injured and how severe an injury it was. Check with your orthopedic surgeon or pcp, consider imaging or venous doppler to check for stress fracture, blood clots, or more ominous conditions.
