How To Treat Shin Injury?
My boyfrend has whacked his shin with a brake disk!! Lol...blood has all drained to back of his leg and foot, and it swells up a bit as he is a lorry driver and drives 15 hours a day!! There is a lump on the original impact area...is it just a matter of RICE treatment and wait for it to heal?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns
With such presentations in my clinic, I would first rule out any bony injury by having X ray leg.I prefer following the following instructions:
-Limb elevation all the time withe using cold fomentation or ice.
-complete physical rest for two weeks.
- Receiving proper antibiotic,anti-inflammatory and NSAID.
