Suggest Treatment For Bruise On Shin

Hi, I got hit with a softball in the shin about a week and a half ago and the area is still very bruised and hurts to walk and touch. Do you think this is something I should get checked out? It started to feel better but then the pain came back and is numb in the area

Thanks for contacting HCM with your medical questions.

I am sorry to hear that you have a bruise on your shin. These bruises can be alarming as they cause pain and large deformity on the leg. These bruises though are completely harmless. The bruise will take several days to be absorbed but will resolve within 2 weeks. I can reassure you that you have nothing to be concerned about and this will go away.

I hope this answers your question. Please contact HCM again with any of your health care concerns
