Hi, I slipped on my kitchen floor and smashed into my dishwasher door that was open so hard it knocked the plates out!The shin bone took the full impact!and the pain was unbearable!It swelled up And turned grey blue very quickly! I put ice on it and raised my leg above my heart for a few hours!ive been to ANE and saw a nurse who said to take painkillers and it will hurt for sometime!No X-ray was done?!?And two days later I m still in pain!
Hi, Pain and swelling is common finding after such a severe blow causing traumatic injury to the soft tissues causing soft tissue tears, bruising and inflammation causing pain. In case if you are able to walk and put your body weight over the leg while walking then chances of any bony fractures are less. But in case if the pain is debilitating, and you cannot put weight then immediately get an X-ray done. If there is no fracture then do cool compresses, take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen and along with it elevating the leg and avoiding too much exertion should be done. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
