Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hello, my name is Chris. I'm 32yrs old and 5'9 and in fit shape. I was working out today and a 30lb dumbbell fell from the bench (about 2 feet off the ground) and banged on my leg before dropping to the ground.
There was some pain and I noticed what looked like a small dent (maybe 2 cm) on the middle-side of my shin (closer to left side of leg than in front). The 'dent' seemed to have went away after 5mins and I finished my workout without noticing it or any pain from it.
After going home (1 hour later), I have noticed some swelling, maybe 2 inches in diameter. There's not any pain, just looks like typical swelling. I'm icing it at the moment and just searching online for others' experiences with 'dents on shins'. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
