I was kicked in the leg playing football, it wasnt that bad and i continued to play the next day it swole up and got really big and painful, i went to the hospital where they just gave me cruthes however two weeks on and im still.having trouble walking, i still have a bruise and massive swelling on the shin and a huge dent just below it. Any idea of what this might be?
Hi. Your pain is due to tibial bone condition...wherein after the hit your bone covering called periosteum would have got inflamed ad you continued playing gone a bit worse... The dent what you are referring could be due to swelling in the adjacent areas...or the area of injured tibial bone.Don't worry... If I were you... I would have done icing very frequently on the injured area.once in every 2 hours for 15 mins. Keep that area gently compressed with a compression bandage... Had taken some Anti-inflammatory tabs given to be previously. Kept my leg slightly elevated... Once swelling and pain comes down I would have gently knead on my calf muscles to receive spasm. Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need any further clarification...
