Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. Two days ago I was at a park and doing vault jumps when I did one wrong and came down on my shin, a little above half way to my knee. It is on my right leg more towards the inside than outside of my shin. Within a couple of hours a hard, raised bump appeared. There is no bruise it just hurts me to walk sometimes. I can walk up a hill with ease but walking down pains me. I was just wondering what to do for it.
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury. The swelling is caused due to accumulation of fluid and blood (haematoma) following the impact. X ray of the right leg can be done to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by application of ice, analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac + Serratiopeptidase (to be taken after food) and Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in your diet which will help in strengthening of bones. Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine. Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing a Good Health. Take care.
