My son slipped and fell hitting his shin and know it has a knot and bruise and it also it is tender to touch it. He has all function to that leg and also he said it hurts a little bit around the ankle area. I was just wondering is that something to be concerned about.
Hi.it is normal for the area to have an inflammatory reaction for a couple of days. The swelling will present on the first 3 days then it will eventually subside. If the pain and swelling persists and progresses, and your son has difficulty in ambulation, it is best if you bring him to a doctor for clinical evaluation. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
