How To Treat A Dent Around The Shin Area?
Hi, so as i was walking, i accidentally fell anfd my shin came into contact with a ledge. Immediately i felt pain around the area of impact. It has been almost an hour, and the pain has subsided. But when i run my fingers along my shin, i discovered a dent. It hurts when i apply some pressure. Can you please tell me what i have and advice me on my current problem, thanks

Hello there,
The dent you are worried is nothing but compressed soft tissue but not a dent over bone.
Dont worry about it .
It will disaapears after some days.
Dont do vigorous massage over that region.
If painfull simply apply warm pack.
Thank you.
