Suggest Remedy For Injury To Shin After A Fall
About 4 years ago I fell up the stairs and took a chunk out of my shin bone, there is a large scar that looks like a bite where it is sore but recently after returning to my hobby irish dancing the pain has become really bad over the scar area and when I run my hand over it it feels like there is a chunk missing. What should I do?

Hi,
I think it ll be a good idea to revisit your orthopedician who had operated you upon for a proper follow - up. Meanwhile, you can have analgesic tablets if you are having intolerable pain.
Hot fomentation would also be very helpful.
