Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I bruised my shin bone playing soccer about 2 months ago. I got an xray a few days after it happened and they said it was a bone bruise. Theres still a visible exterior bruise, mild swelling, and I still have pain sometimes. I can also feel a dent in the bone where the impact occurred. Is this normal, especially the dent?
Hi welcome to health care magic . After going through your query I think you need not to worry as xray is normal. You need just rest , analgesics, ice fomentation, and elevation for some days. Hope your query has been answered. Thanks.
