Can An Injury On My Shin Bone Be Permanent?
Hi I fell down metal stairs two and a half weeks ago and hit my shin bone hard. There's a dent in the muscle and numbness and the surrounding area is still sore and bruised. Could I have permanent nerve damage and will the dent eventually go away? Thank you

Hi...
Your dent in the shin bone could be a soft tissue injury and will reduce slowly..nothing to worry..
I recommend you to..
Do lot of icing in the injured area of your shin..
Keep it compressed with compression bandage..
If you have a Anti inflammatory topical application gel..you can apply it over the injured area...
Hope this is helpful for you...
Kindly revert back in case you need any further help...
