Right Shin Hurt, Having Solid Lump, Numbness And Pain And Swelling In Feet After Falling. Is This Normal?
I fell hard onto some concrete steps just over 8 weeks ago. I hit my right shin pretty hard. Since then, there has been a large fairly solid lump, which is numb to touch and still painful at times. Some days it gets very swollen and my foot also becomes swollen. Is this normal ?
hi there what happens is that the bone is covered by thick membrane - periosteum assuming that you dont have a fracture, blood can collect between the bone and periosteum it causes your features of swelling and pain it resolves gradually so u need not worry
but do rule out a fracture with a xray best of luck
