Is swelling normal after leg injury


Posted by Mary A.

I had a four wheeler turn over on my leg in a dirty contaminated river.

 After twenty four hours my leg was red and swollen soI went to a mea and the doctor just washed out the cut.

 Now a year later the injured leg is red and has swollen to five times the normal size.

 Is this normal and should I just elevate the leg or could it be something else and I need to see a doctor.  If so what kind of doctor?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.
