I was not sure where to put this...so here I go! I am very accident prone and this past Friday evening, I slipped on a dog toy and fell very hard onto a split brick floor! It hurt really bad obviously, but the next day it was not terribly swollen, just a little bruised and tender. Being someone that is constantly getting hurt, I thought oh well, I'll be fine, I'll just look like a battered woman for awhile. Yesterday I noticed that right below my knee cap there is a about a 2 inch spot that is numb....it doesn't feel numb from the inside, but when I touch the spot, I can't feel it. Make sense???? Anyways, it hasn't affected my walking at all, and the initial swelling has pretty much subsided. The only real pain is the tenderness on the bruise, which doesn't concern me. I am however, starting to get concerned about the numbness which it still there, and maybe possible nerve damage. Any opinions will be greatly appreciated!
