Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Painful Shin After Injury
Hi I was playing baseball the other day and I was pitching and ended up taking a hard linedrive to the shin and it got a really dark purple quick but then within 20min or so it was just red again. I kept playing even tho it hurt but it s still swollen and it hurts pretty bad still. What could be the problem?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to the injury.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using cold compresses for local application at the swollen area.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
