[|Human|] during a basketball game 3 weeks ago my son took a knee to his thigh, it is still very sore and he was kneeling today and it gave out on him and he can barely walk on it now, there is no bruising. should I have him apply ice or heat or should I have him looked at?
[|AI|]  Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bruise on thigh post an accident due to rupture of blood vessels secondary to trauma, and it is leading to accumulation of blood in the soft tissues and causing bruising and hematoma formation. I would suggest you to do cool compresses over the swollen and bruised areas, take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, apply analgesic gel to relieve pain, elevate your leg while lying down. If condition doesn't get better than consult general surgeon for proper examination. Doctor may Chat Doctor.  Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
