At soccer practice my team mate and I collided, he is 18 yrs old and about 6'0

his shin slammed into mine with a severe impact it was SO painful and it began to swell and bruise Immediately!.
I still was able to play the rest of the scrimmage on it and a soccer game on saturday!.
I was experiencing a lot of pain though!.
After the game I looked at my leg and my ENTIRE shin and in certain places on my ankle were dark puple and very swollen!.
I showed it to my parents and they think its just a bad bruise, I believe fully that it is a fracture, my parents refuse to take me to the doctor to get it x-rayed because we have crappy health insurance and we couldn't afford it!.

Answers:
Yes, it is probably just a bad bruise!. (Technical term: severe contusion) Some people swell more than others and gravity tends to keep swelling in your lower leg!. The lump you notice is due to swelling!.
An xray to make sure there is no fracture wouldn't hurt, but more concerning to me is the "numbness" you report!. Sometimes you get a condition referred to as Anterior Compartment Syndrome due to extensive swelling in your lower leg!. Usually due to trauma on the front and outside of your lower leg!. There is a key nerve that controls your ability to move your foot up & down!. Numbness or loss of function needs medical attention!. This is a serious condition!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not sure what to tell you, but try to stay off of it and ice it!. Try wrapping it and if it hurts too bad maybe use crutches!. Hope you feel better!. Good luck! =]Www@Answer-Health@Com
