What Is The Treatment For Shin Pain?

I play college soccer and I got kicked on the lower-inner right shin. It bruised at first and now about a 1.5 weeks later it has caused pain in the lower posterior part of my calf/Achilles region. The bruise has become hard and the calf is tight. Is there any room for concern or should I keep getting a massage from the trainer to break up everything?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There seems hematoma formation at ths site of trauma due to extravasation of blood during injury. This blood leads to hematoma formation and triggers hard lump like feeling.

This will dissolve over time which may take months. Thrombophob ointment helps in early healing of hematoma and can be applied. There is nothing to worry.

If there is any doubt, ultrasound of local part will help confirm diagnosis of hematoma.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Jayesh Vaza
