Problem description: On October 12, 2020, my calf was hit by a car and there was no fracture, but it was swollen and very thick. After being treated at the county hospital for 9 days, I returned home and recuperated for another three days. After walking down the ground, I went to school, and now the blood in my calf is completely gone, but there is a piece of skin that should have been hit too badly. I still don’t feel the leg stretches or bends to a specific position. There seems to be a muscle activity inside. It’s not very convenient to stumble and not hurt. The leg stumbles when it’s cold. Sometimes the soft tissue under the skin will feel like a needle prick for a few seconds and then it’s okay. I want to ask what’s the matter with me. Can I recover? Will there be sequelae in the second half of my life? The picture was taken when I was hit by a car.
