How To Reduce Swelling In The Shin?
5'9" 18 years old. female
got kicked in the shin (through my shin pad) and it bruised and swelled a little. after 3 days the bruising went down my ankle (which i hear is normal as th blood runs down) but it still hurts and does not feel like a normal bruise. What bothers me the most is the burning feeling i get. It does not hurt to walk but it hurts to kick a ball around. any ideas as to why it burns? this happened about 2 weeks ago.
