What Causes Sharp Shooting Pain While Standing On Toes?
Hello, I banged my shin 10 days ago and am experiencing sharp shooting pain when I stand on my toes or make sudden movements, I am wondering how best to treat the injury? I do have very slight swelling in the leg only noticeable by the line around my ankle when I remove my sock, My shin is also sore to touch around the area of impact and I have a dark mark at the point of impact with slight yellowing of the skin about two inches around the area

HI
Well come to HCM
No need to treat such injury with any of medicine if you can tolerate the pain because pain is the only matter of concern else in case of injury later this is process of healing and this may take some time for healing during this time period injured part need to be kept in elevated positioned, if the injury is bad or severe then x-ray is must, in huge swelling clinical examination is also must, hope this information helps, take care.
