Leg pain and swelling
I was in a car accident over a year ago. I had a leg airbag in my car and it detonated during the accident. Ever since, my shin has had pain and will swell daily. Is this something that is going to take even more time? Again, it’s been over a year (wreck was in November 2016). Or should I go to a orthopedic doctor?
