Should I Consult A Doctor As My Daughter Fell Off From Her Bed?
my 8 year old daughter fell off her bed and her shin has a very large bump on it. She has stopped crying but says that is still hurting very much. She wont stand on it. And when i was feeling around her leg she says pressure starts hurting about an inch and a half away from the bump. also the bruise appears to be almost grey... any advice?

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and it seems that your daughter has suffered a severe musculoskeletal injury most likely a fracture.
You should immediately take her to an orthopedic surgeon for proper clinical examination and management accordingly. They may advice you for the X Ray leg to look for injury or fracture.
I would recommend you to splint the part by a board to help in transportation to hospital.
You may give her acetaminophen or ibuprofen tablet for pain relief.
Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you out in any future health related questions.
Take care
