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.
Last week I banged my shin on metal lawn chair didn t look serious, so I put some first aid cream on it....however, it has developed a red circle around the wound, just larger than a quarter...no streaks. Subsequently I hshouldave had a sharp pain in my foot (same leg) and now a little discomfort in my jaw and neck all on the left side. Should I be alarmed....I haven t had a tetanus shot in years. I am 75
Hi there an open wound over the shin is to be taken seriously because they heal poorly and have potential for infection. Please visit a local doctor to have a look.
