What Causes Numbness, Pain And Swelling On Shin Due To Accident?
I fell off my bike on Saturday and landed on my knees. One is gashed but I m covering it and letting it heal. But my shins are numb to the touch and hard and swollen. My cat stepped on my shin and I almost passed out it hurt so bad. Like it was on fire. It s only been 3 days since my accident. Should I be worried?

Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that you might have damaged some cutaneous nerves and that is causing you tingling and numbness. I would recommend you to wait for few days and your symptoms will improve. If there is increase in these symptoms then you can visit doctor at that time.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
