Intense Pain & Swelling Noticed On Shin And Calf Muscles
Hi I jumped backward over a few boxes off a forlift five nights ago and didn't jump far enough and slammed my shin pretty hard into a pallet. I worked the rest of the night (8 or 9 hours) and while my leg was sore, it was mostly tolerable. It being Christmas today I had the day off and have been lying in bed and whenever I get up to go eat or smoke my leg hurts intensely--like my calf muscles are all cramping up and my lower leg/ankle/foot are pretty swollen. There is no bruising that I can see however
