Is Swelling And Pain In Shin When Applied Pressure Due To Fracture?

Hi, last night I was playing soccer, and I got kicked quite forcefully on my shin. It hurt a lot, but I forced myself to continue playing. I can walk on it fine, but its slightly bruised and swollen. Putting any sort of pressure on it hurts like nothing I ve felt before. Is it fractured?

hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough musculoskeletal assessment is advised.

After reading the history of you, I should tell, brave.
well now shin is a bony area and any injury over the shin will take longer time to recover as there is no muscle in that area and only a fascia and skin.

Also, if you find that on a safer side you can undergo an x-ray kindly go for it. Also, this injuries receiver with time and depend upon the impact over the shin. You can use icing for pain relief as well.
