Sore, Swollen And Tender Shin With Lump On Bone Due To Accident. Can This Be Fracture Due To History Of Shin Splints?
I have suffered from shin splints for a long time and I recently got in a car crash where I hit my shins on the glove box. My shins were very sore and my right one has a point that is swollen and tender to the touch. The swelling almost feels like a hard lump on the bone. I ve heard that shin splints can lead to stress fractures and I was just wondering if the trauma of the car crash could have contributed to that.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
Your thinking is very much right the vehicular accident injuries should always be brought to investigation, so it is better to get done the x- ray of injured part, this will rule out the possibility of fracture, I hope this could be your answer have nice day.
