Trina	sorry to hear that hun! i stuff like that all the time. theres really nothing you can do for pain but i would keep it cleaned out and try to wear some shorts so you can leave it without a bandaid because it needs to get air to heal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kris L	Make an ice pack (use a bag of frozen peas because they are smaller and will 'form' better around your thigh) and apply it to the bruise/abrasion for 15 minutes every hour. If and when possible, elevate your thigh until it is above (higher than) your heart ... this will reduce the swelling and also the pain. Next time, when you see something under a tarp, don't walk into it ... or into anything else. Better to be safe than sorry ... but take two Aspirin now, and take two more Aspirin every four to six hours if the pain continues. If you have not had a tetanus shot in the last ten years, of if you can't remember when you had one, go to the doctor and get the shot ... he'll tell you to apply and ice pack and raise your thigh to above the level of your heart too for pain and swelling.

lalo_56	Where glasses. LOL JK but, yes sheet metal cuts do hurt usually not at the moment. Just later you will have pain. I have gotten several cuts with sheet metal and never felt it til i see the blood that im leaving behind. Then i just wrap it to stop the bleeding and just give it time to heal. You can take some over the counter pills like Advil to help with the pain. Other than that, the ointment to help it heal faster. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Joe	Ice pack on the bruised area for 15-20 minutes, take it off for 15 minutes, then reapply. Do not leave it on for too long as it'll cause more bad than good. If you want to know why, the link below. Take Tylenol for the pain and let it heal. Sometimes letting it breath after cleaning the wound is better than bandaging up (if it's not a deep wound). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
