What Causes Sharp Shooting Pain And Swelling In Shin?
Hi, I received a very hard hit to the inside of my left shin a few weeks ago. Right when it happened, it bruised and was pretty swollen. It isn t very black and blue anymore, but it seems like there is some fluid built up on my shin. Theres a sharp shooting pain when I press on it and I can definitely feel fluid in there. Will this fluid go away or should I get it checked out at a doctor? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
This fluid is the remnant of blood collection, it will go away by time. You can talk any pain killer for the meantime.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
