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 got hit directly in my shin by a team mates knee but it wasn t so serious. However the next day there was a bruise and when i rub the bruise there is a sharp stinging pain that moves down my leg to the lower part of my shin. what is this injury and stinging pain i have?
Pain, swelling, redness etc. are classic signs of inflammation. And trauma is a cause of inflammation. Unless it is significantly impairing function, it will go on its own. At best you need analgesics and if there is severe pain and limp, you may get an x-ray done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Syed Tehmid,
General & Family Physician
