I would rather do just about anything than go to the doctor, so I am wondering if anyone has any medical experience or knowledge of knee/leg injuries. Basically, I am trying to talk myself into NOT wasting the afternoon at the ER getting an x-Ray and spending a $100 copay just to find out I bruised my leg but my family is trying to get me to go. I am not sure what to do...Wednesday morning when it was raining, I walked into school and slipped and fell right onto my knee on the hard tile floor. It was a hard fall. The area right below my knee swelled up to the size of about half of a softball right away. Now the front of my leg is all bruised from my knee all the way down to my ankle. It is sore and hurts a lot, but this is why I dont think I need an x-Ray...it doesnt hurt any more or less when I walk on it. The swelling has gone down a little bit, but the soreness is about the same as it was on Wednesday. I am having a little numbness/tingling in my foot that started today...probably just from the trauma. Does anyone have any knowledge of injuries similar to this? I hate to go sit in the ER just to have them tell me it is bruised. That is my gut feeling, especially since I can walk on it. I couldnt have broken anything if I can still walk without any problem, right? Thanks for your help!
