How Long Does The Swelling Take To Go Down In The Shin Area?
A week ago I got hit in the shin with a softball. Most of the swelling has went down but I still have about 2 1/2 inches of the swelling still there. Also from my shin down to my foot I see bruising. Is this normal and if so how long will it take for the swelling go down?

Hello,
It is a contusion and will settle in three to four days.
You can apply icepacks for faster recovery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
