<s>[INST] I fell heavily on my left leg below the knee, the area is numb to the touch but tender and swollen. I have bruising in the heel also which is weird cause my leg was suspended. The incident occurred 5 days ago. I can walk on it with the occasional limp. Any ideas? [/INST] Hi, Most likely you have injured the soft tissue in your leg below the knee. I suggest painkillers and ice packs. Get an X-ray to rule out a minor fracture. If you are not able to walk pain-free, then use a cane on the right side to support your weight. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Gopal Goel, Orthopedic Surgeon </s>
