Icing Should Be Done On Swollen And Painful Shin After Hitting Hard?
On my very last stair on the staircase in my house, there s a wooden part. I was running up the stairs and tripped and hit the top on my shin (tibia) on it. I must ve hit it pretty hard bc after, I could barely walk. It s about an hour later and it s still hurts. I walk funny, the place where I hit it is all swollen and hurts to the touch. It s hurts a lot when I walk on it too. In icing it right now. Should it be okay?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that there is soft tissue injury there. You should not be worried about this as all this will improve with in three to four day.You need to apply ice and take pain killer like Voveron. Also apply compression bandage. This will take care of pain and inflammation.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
