What Could Cause An Indentation On The Middle Of The Shin Bone?
Question: I just discovered a 50 cent piece sied indentation in the middle of my right shin bone. plus my toes look bigger than those on my left foot.
Brief Answer:
Can be shin splints.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The indentation on the middle of shin bone can be due to a shin splint. This is a stress related injury and usually heals with proper rest and mild pain killers.
The change in size of the toes of right foot can be due to a local swelling due to standing for long hours. If this subsides after rest then there is no need to worry.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
