[|Human|] I developed swelling from toes to thigh on right side following a fall where I twisted my leg at the knee.I now have severe edema from just above knee to toes.So much swelling I cant get my shoe on.It also has developed bruising and petchia over same area.It is warm to touch and painful when using leg. I used the RICE treatment and a crutch which improved it forr several weeks.Then twisted it walking and its even more swollen and painful.Is this something that should be treated as emergency?
