Hi. I m a 40 year old male in good health. With the exception of degenerative discs in L-4 and L-5, I have no history of a persistent or recurring medical issue(s). I have a tender/sore spot on the right inside part of my shin, about three-quarters of the way up to the knee. There s also radiation of very slight pain/discomfort in my knee as well. When I press on the spot, it is sore to the touch. There is no visible hematoma on or near the pain. Nor do I recall my shin recently enduring any trauma. I first noticed the pain about four days ago. Since then, it has not gotten any worse or better. My inquiry stems from the concern that I ve seen no palpable improvement. If this was merely bruising of the tissue or bone, wouldn t I notice some improvement, even be it marginal, four days later? Is this something I should have examined?
