I slipped into the pool and my shin took the impact, there was an immediate goose bump, now a few days later it still hurts very badly but most when I first stand up. There is a long dark streak under it and the bump itself hasn t bruised yet, but around the bump has lots of pretty colors, is this normal?
Hello, Yes, you are right, the symptoms you are facing off late are due to the injury caused at the shin and It's normal to have because most of the time this injury is a hairline fracture to the tibia, which is one of the bones of the leg, and it does not have much of the muscles in the front compartment of the leg and only fascia running throughout. Post the injury it is ignored with rest and medications. Very few look forward to undergoing physiotherapy guided exercise to correct the muscle imbalance happened due to the injury. In my clinical practice of over 12 years, most cases reported are delayed and takes time to correction with balance board rehabilitation. As its understood that there is a muscle imbalance the biomechanics of the bone and muscle for weight-bearing is changed which leads to pain it's advised to them for complete rehab, and later they Perform well with no pain. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
