Is it possible to crack your shin bone and still walk fine?!
Question: Is it possible to crack your shin bone and still walk fine!?
I hit my shin a few weeks ago and it hurt really really bad!. Even now if I just touch it, it hurts alot!. My daughter was laying beside me a few minutes ago and barely hit it with her heel and I almost started to cry it hurt SO bad!. It never swelled or bruised so I figured it was fine even though it hurts like crap anything touches the area!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
More than likely, it is not broken or cracked as you say!. The shin bone is the tibia and bears the weight, so chances are that if you crack or break it that you won't be able to walk!. You may have bruised it or bruised the bone!. It may take a while to get over!. Even if you did crack it, there is probably not much to be done now, this late!. If it doesn't get better, see the doctor, of course!. You may want to check into something to "protect" it until it heals, just to keep from bumping it!. What about shin gaurds, like they use in soccer!. Not quite "orthopedic" equiptment, but it would help to protect it so it could heal!. Hope it feels better soon!. I just broke my fibula about 6 weeks ago!.!.!.I feel for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
