Common types of injury include dislocations, fractures, sprains and strains. A leg injury can cause you a lot of pain and can lead to other problems, such as deep vein thrombosis or varicose veins.

What Are The Symptoms?

The symptoms can depend on the type of injury, but if you are suffering from pain, redness, bruising or swelling in part of or your whole leg, then you have a leg injury and it is important to get this checked out as soon as possible to determine how bad the damage is.

A leg injury is typically caused by an accident such as a fall, slip or sporting mishap. Falling down the stairs, slipping on a patch of ice or being badly tackled in a game of football are all common ways of hurting your leg.
