What Causes Painfully Swollen And Bruised Shin?
I bumped my shin trying to get on a Jet ski. When i got on my shin was indented. After awhile it looked like a softball size knot. Three days later my leg at injury spot down is swelled and bruised. Should i be concerned. It sometimes feels like a burning stinging pain in injury spot

Hello and thanks for your question.
It's my first priority to help you.
Well as per your description,I would recommend to see your doctor for a clinical exam to rule out underlying possible cause like Muscle contusion,Compartment syndrome which can be serious.
I would recommend to elevate your leg.
Also apply cool compresses.
And take OTC Motrin.
See a doctor ASAP or visit emergency room.
Hope this helps.
