How To Treat Pain In The Shin Area Due To An Injury?
My husband was lifting weights and the foot rest flung back and hit his shin really hard. He bruised automatically, and now it is swollen like there is a baseball stuffed under his skin. He is icing it, but it hurts. He can walk on it. He hit it around 2 hours ago. Should I get him checked out?

Hello,
It may be due to blunt trauma.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
You may require X Ray in case of swelling after orthopedician consultation.
In case of fracture you may require surgical intervention after consultation.
Use support while walking.
Restrict your movements
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
