How To Treat The Hardly Hit Tibia?
Hello, I hit my tibia pretty hard 4 days ago which left a small not very deep scratch. I iced it 2 days and most of the swelling went down. its still very sore though (expected) and I noticed if I push down on any part of skin along my tibia a indent occurs and stays. . should I go get this checked out?

Hello
It will be better to consult an Orthopaedician and he may advice you to go for an xray. in mean time leg elevation, ice packs & analgesics.
