Suggest Remedy For Bruises In Shin
I fell and hurt my shin. A lot of bruising but no pain the first two days. I saw the doctor and he gave me medicine to break up blood cloths. After two days when the swelling and blue went into the foot area, I have started having escalating sharp pain in the shin area. Is my leg getting worse?

hi,
looks like your pain is increasing. kindly see if you apply some ice close to the area where you get pain in the circular pattern. post that slowly follow small ankle and toe movements while sitting on a couch. try performing simple leg raise up and down for 10-15 times for holding each time for upto 5-10 counts based on your holding capacity.
hope you will recover and get rid of pain.
thanks
