Kicked In Right Shin, Scap Developing, Numbness, Some Fluid Underneath, Non-pitted Edma
I got kicked in my right shin about two weeks ago. I thought it was healing because there s a scap developing. I noticed around the scap area that its numb to the touch and that there might be fluid underneath when I press my finger to it. The pressed area rebounds immediately. Could it be non-pitted edema . How do I treat it or what should I do?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
After an injury, the swelling on the shin is likely to b due to hematoma. Underlying fracture needs to be ruled out as the area is numb and rebounds on pressing. You need to consult your orthopedician fr necessary investigations like X-ray and MRI and further treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
