Hi, I m female aged 21. My road bike skidded over on top of me while going around a corner. My upper thigh/hip took most of the impact. There is a rather large (15cm accross, 12cm high) painful pink lump there now. My leg also got stuck under my bike twisted counter-clockwise so inside my hip all around and my knee also feel tender. It s painful and feels very strange to walk. What should I do?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As per your history you had RTA, and now you have difficulty in walking and pain as well. I will advise you to undergo a thorough clinical examination on a safer side. Also, an x-ray might help us to be on a safer side if any injury is there. As in most RTA there are muscular injuries than bony ones. And this takes a little time to reduce as the impact of the fall will be highly damaging the muscular system.  This takes a little time to heal I will advise you to undergo a thorough clinical examination and an x-ray of the hip on a safer side. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
