Yes, actually I fell up the stairs a year ago and my shin got really swollen and bruised. We did place ice but it didn t go down. MY PARENTS SAID IT WAS NOTHING SO i didn t pay any attention, but it really hurt to walk with it for the next few weeks. After that it ceased to hurt and it finally came down a year after but it is still slightly swollen and painful sometimes when i touch it. It even seems to have a small edge that goes inwards where i fell.
