5. Bleeding or bruising in the leg is another known symptom of a fibula fracture.
When the doctor takes an X-ray, he or she will notice that there’s bleeding or bruising. The doctor has to try to stop the bleeding because you can lose too much blood. This can cause death. IV fluids are administered or blood transfusions to increase blood pressure in the emergency room. The injured will need to stay in the hospital until bleeding and bruising goes away. That’s why it’s important to seek medical treatment right away when leg pain is felt. It may be more serious than you think.
The injury won’t go away on its own. The longer you wait to seek treatment, the worse it will become. You won’t be able to play your sport ever again, especially if there is internal bleeding. The bleeding and bruising can go away with the right treatment.
