Thanks for contacting HCM with your health care concerns. You recently injured you shin by hitting it with t wrench. The shin is now shiny and a bruise appearing. This is very normal and not anything to be concerned about. The bruise may take about 1-2 weeks to completely resolve. No additional treatments are necessary
