Is A Dent On The Shin From An Injury A Cause For Concern?
My daughter who is 12 hit her shin pretty good 2 days ago on the stairs. There a big bruise and a little swelling but a huge dent in her shin. Any worries? Do I take her to dr to get checked out? She's complaining of soreness but is able to walk on it.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
injury near shin usually have sharp pain with bruises left.. if she has a serious injury she might not walk.sweling is probably due to soft tissue injury. go for ibuprofen to relive pain.it will minimum 7 days to resolve the soreness.take cromifin citrate to reduce swelling
and yes its always better to have a consultation from a physician and also an x ray to relieve yours and daughter anxiety
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
