What Causes Fluid Build Up In Shin Area?
About 2 weeks ago I slipped and pulled something in my right calf. Sore for couple days no big deal. Last weekend took a step backwards unloading something and stepped in a hole with same leg. Got immediate burning pain that lasted 6 or 7 hours until I could get ice on it. Pain is gone now but on the front of my leg in the shin area I have some sort of fluid build up. I can press on it and make a dent. There is no pain. Just wondering what this may be. Thanks
