Suggest Treatment For Bruising And Tenderness In Shin After Injury
Hi. I got kicked by a horse directly on my shin, there was instant constant pain, aswel as instant swelling and bruising. I was able to weight bare, however the whole area was tender. After a couple of days bruising also came out around my ankle, although there was no pain or injury there. Its been 2 weeks now, and there is still slight swelling and bruising. The direct spot that was kicked is still really tender and when i run my fingers over my shin, there is a distinct lump/bump. I never saw anyone about it as i was able to walk and weight bare... Will this go with time or should i see someone?

Hello,
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the lump could be just local inflammation. I think that it will disappear spontaneously after a period of time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Dr. Ilir Sharka
