Specializes in Urgent Care

Leg trauma: Depending on the mechanism of injury, you may need to be seen. When one has significant pain it is a good idea to see a physician. If you skin is intact and you can move your foot up, down, and in circles, and feel your leg and toes, you may not need to see a doctor. If you have significant pain, swelling, a laceration, or problems putting weight on your leg, it is a good idea to visit. Good luck
