How Serious Could Painful Shin With Indentation After An Injury Be?
Took a blow to my shin and aside from being painful there is a noticeable depression at the impact site (1/4 deep and 1 long). Leg is still bruised and sore. Anything I should have checked out or should I give it a few days. Not painful to stand but feel it when I walk.
