Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was playing soccer and got my shin kicked pretty hard after the hit my whole leg was hurting I couldn't move it for a brief moment. Then I tried to move my foot towards me and everything was shaking and it hurt. Now I can't really move my ankle because of shin. Why?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
What I understood you hurt your shin and you are unable to walk. But it would have been great if you provide me is there any swelling in ankle or knee. I hope you didn't sustain a fracture because pain would have been much severe alongside deformity. Still if you are having doubts about fracture then cray with Ortho consult will do the job. If no such problem and no swelling/ instablity of knee. Take rest and apply ice with painkillers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
