<human>: I was kicked in the leg playing football, it wasnt that bad and i continued to play the next day it swole up and got really big and painful, i went to the hospital where they just gave me cruthes however two weeks on and im still.having trouble walking, i still have a bruise and massive swelling on the shin and a huge dent just below it. Any idea of what this might be?
<bot>: Hi. Your pain is due to tibial bone condition...wherein after the hit your bone covering called periosteum would have got inflamed ad you continued playing gone a bit worse... The dent what you are referring could be due to swelling in the adjacent areas...or the area of injured tibial bone.Don't worry... If I were you... I would have done icing very frequently on the injured area.once in every 2 hours for 15 mins. Keep that area gently compressed with a compression bandage... Had taken some Anti-inflammatory tabs given to be previously. Kept my leg slightly elevated... Once swelling and pain comes down I would have gently knead on my calf muscles to receive spasm. Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need any further clarification...
