Shin Hurts After Been Kicked Hard, Unable To Walk Due To Muscle Stiffness. Is It Muscle Damage?
I was kicked quite hard in the shin and it really hurts. The myscle is stiff and it hurts een at rest, and i can t even walk on it. There is no bruising or swelling though. Could that be muscle damage? About how long is it going to take to recover? And what should i do about it??
As per your history and your activity possibility of stress fracture of leg bone can be considered or only tibiacontusion may be present. So I will advise to take an x-ray and should look for stress fracture.
MRI scan will help in confirming diagnosis. Stress fracture may require immobilisation in plaster or brace.
