Contusion: This sounds like a contusion/bruise. If just a bruise, you should recover within 1-2 weeks. Rest, ice and ibuprofen or naproxen can help reduce symptoms. Return to sports when the pain has resolved and you have no swelling. If I can be of help, then join my care team & virtual practice at www.healthtap.com/dr-clarkeholmes

I was out for a walk today and noticed that my left leg was a bit sore. I looked down and noticed that my left leg from the knee down was larger than my right. What could be the possible causes and should I get it checked out or wait to see what happens Not sure if I should schedule an appointment?
