Suggest Remedies For Severe Bruising On The Shin Bone Post An Injury

A month ago I received a line drive to my shin by a baseball. Not much obvious bruising but sore to the touch and dented in. A week ago at work i was kicked a dozen times in the same spot by a 3rd grader at work. Still dented. Still sore. Should I have this seen or isn t it serious?

Hello,

In my opinion, you should be seen by an Orthopedic surgeon.

Sometimes, a compression fracture on the shin may happen besides a muscular injury.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
