Hi, I have a small incident on Sunday night (3/29/15). I was playing on a playground with my little brother, while climbing up a curved stair case my left flip flop slipped off making my Shinbone hit the metal bar pretty hard causing a lot of pain and a small bit of torn skin. It bruised up a little but has had mostly swelling. Today I noticed the swelling had gotten worse but I work so I haven t had time to evaluate it under a pillow. It doesn t hurt to walk, but it is swelling, & by swelling I mean I can press my shinbone and see an indentation, still bruised a bit, and numb to the touch. Should I seek medical attention or let it heal up alone? Thank you. Sincerely, Briona.
