What Are The Symptoms Of Bone Fracture In Leg?

default
Posted on Thu, 19 Feb 2015
Question: I was taking some books off a book cart and some books fell and one book hit the middle of the bone running down the front of my right leg. This happened around 3 hours ago and I can walk with no problem and there is no swelling and when i run my fingers up the bone everything feels fine. I am very nervous - could the book have hurt my leg bone - it was a medium sized book.

Brief Answer:
There is no damage!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I have reviewed the information fully and there is no reason to be worried. The bone is very solid and not easily damaged. If it were affected, then you would have been in severe pains. That isn't the case and there is no reason to suspect that something terrible is going on. Be relaxed and all would be okay.

I hope that this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be..
