Hi I have just got home from playing a football match and got kicked in the side of my shin, it s swelled up like a tennis ball and is really sore to touch and painful to try to walk, will it be nothing or should I go get an X-ray?? It s a ball of sweeping just on the side/under the shin and the muscle to the left on my right leg.

Hello,
It could be a contusion.
As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief.
You can apply icepacks also.
If symptoms persists better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
