Hit Fibula Pretty Hard, Cant Fully Extend Leg, Pain. Is It A Bruise, Or A Stress Fracture, Or A Tendon Issue?
Hello, Im playing rugby right now in a highschool club when we were doing a drill on a hard wood basketball court, and went down for a tackle and hit my upper fibula pretty hard. At the time i just kept playing because it did not hurt but when i got home it really started to hurt. Now in the morning a day later i cant fully extend my leg or bring it all the way up without a serious shooting pain in my very upper fibula. Is it a bruise , or a stress fracture , or a tendon issue?
dear one

hope pain will be reduced a little bit,perhaps u had the direct trauma to yours fibula,please do ice cold therapy,have some anti inflamatery drugs along with analgesics.it will be better to get x- ray done,& see ortho surgeon.
