How To Cure Swollen Shin And Calf After Falling Down?
I was moving some logs and was standing on one big one. Went to step back on to a standing log and missed it landing on the corner with my shin scrapping a chunk of skin off. Its been a few days and my shin and calf is swollen and red with some pain. Will it be OK or should I go see someone I work construction and have still been working on it.
Hi Welcome to healhcaremagic After going through your query I concluded that you are having injury to your shin few days back. Now shin and calf is swollen a bit. You should keep your limb elevated on pillow during resting times. Active mobilization exercises of ankle and toe will reduce swelling. Analgesic such as ibuprofen is helpful in pain relief and reduce swelling. Vitamin B and C help in recovery. You can discuss your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
