I was pitching a softball game 6 weeks ago tomorrow. I was hit but a line drive that was absolutely smoked in the shin above my ankle. It sounded terrible but didn t break anything. The softer tissues have finally came back from being dented (best way I can describe it). You can still see the mark and still pretty tender. Is that just still because there is bruising on the soft tissue or could I have bruise bone too? It never bruised in the area as it all ran to my foot. I had that looked at by some nurses I work with and they said I absorbed it really quick which was good. My concern now is just the continued pain
Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion the continuing pain will take some time to go as you would not have injured your bone but definitively your soft tissue healing need to get dome time to heal, moreover you would appreciate that it has remain same or decreases over period, in some cases an MRI is needed to see occult fractures, and if your symptoms persist with swelling get one done. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health. Special note-Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
