Constant pain in my leg
I have a plate in my leg which has been in for 24 years now. A few days ago I went to step into the shower, I lifted my left leg in and slipped and my right leg (which has the plate) bent and hit the step right onto my plate. My leg is bruised and swollen and now Im in a lot of pain up to my knee which is now also swollen. Should I be worried?
