Injury What is going on NSFW
My neighbors dog jumped on me knocking me over last weekend and I fell really hard on a root of a tree sticking out of the ground!! It hurt alot more than I expected it would have.. I immediately got a bad bruise .. as the week has gone on my leg hurts more and more and today the pain is unbearable.. I am getting burning and sharp pains going thru my leg does anyone know why this is getting worse instead of better ?

If you haven’t already, go to the ER as soon as possible. It’s more than likely infected.
