Hi, I fell about a month ago and hit my shin really hard. It did not bruise but there was a distinctly visible dent in my shin and it was painful. A month has past and now the area feels hard and is still a little sore. Should I get it checked out?
Hi, It is very unusual to have a dent in your shin-bone without having a superficial bruise. The only possibility is that you have localized soft tissue swelling or periosteal hematoma that got fibrosis over time. All you need to do is to forget about it as it is not causing you any pain or like, and it will be resolved by itself over time. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
