Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
You have soft tissue injury that is the tissue which cover shin marked by internal bleeding(bluish/black discoloration), swelling,warm and so on. they usually get resolve in 2-3 weeks time with ice fomentation, rest and limb elevation. You can take Tablet Motrin 1 tablet with food as and when required (upto 4 tablets daily).
Hope this helps you. You can consult me again directly through my profile http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-saurabh-gupta/64132
