What are some symptoms of a tibial fracture? I was kicked really hard on my right leg yesterday and my shin is swollen and is uncomfortable to walk on but I can still walk fairly well. Basically, how do I know if its just a bruise or should I go get an X-ray
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Best way to identify the fracture is by x-ray. Tibial fracture is usually extremely painful and patient can not walk. Since you are able to walk and pain is not that severe, possibility of bruise is more likely. But to confirm this, x-ray is must. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
