Thigh injuries and water sports

This month, I have seen a remarkably high number of thigh contusions/injuries from people coming into contact with boating docks during water sports.

 

If you find yourself with a serious thigh bruise after this incident, or after a sports injury, here are a few recommendations:

1. Get the injury evaluated by a medical professional to ensure that you have not injured your underlying bone.
2. Ice --15 min on. 15 min off
3. Compress--Using an elastic bandage can help control swelling
4. For the first 24 hours, try to keep your knee in a bent position
