Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Shin Injury, Swelling, Hard Lump, Bruise In Foot, Pain On Flexing. ACL Reconstruction Done. Treatment?
I hit my shin very hard today on a large table that was bolted to the ground. It broke the skin and immediately began to swell. The swelling is now a hard lump that is 4.5 x3 inches and bruised. I also have bruising in my foot . I am worried because I have a lot of pain when I flex my foot and this is the same leg I had my ACL reconstruction done. It is also very difficult to bear any weight.
get clinician opinin as it seems it is not asimple injury , muscle or tendon or even possibility of bony injury is there so get x ray done to rule out, rest and medication even splintage will help........Regards
