How To Treat Sharp Pain In My Shin And Knee Bone Poat Horse Riding Injury?

I was riding my horse at a trot and she ran me into a fence. The end of which hit me hard the shin bone. It s swollen and hot, I can walk on it but I can t put weight on it for a long period of time. I get sharp pains every now and then. Since I hit it farther up (6 inches from top of the knee) I feel pain in my knee too. Should I go to the ER or wait it out?

Hi,

It could be a contusion only. As a first line management you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. You can also apply ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
