Swollen "green" shin bone?!


Question: Swollen "green" shin bone!?
OK so my bro and i were playing and i kicked his shin with my shin by accident!. I kicked him really hard though and my shin hit his somewhere horizontally, let's say the angle ur shin would be at when kicking a soccer ball!.!.!.he has no pain at all though, he can't even remember where we connected on his shin

I felt a hugh shot of pain and it immediately swelled to the size of a golf ball, its the front of my shin itself, i cannot touch it or anything, i can walk but it is somewhat painful and if i'm laying or have it straight eg!. over a chair leg i must support my ankel because the weight of my foot itself makes my shin hurt !.!.!.it is green now and shows no sign of going down, infact the swelling and discoloration has gotten worse even though i have been using cold and hot packs on it and sports rub!.!.!.

Could anyone tell me what my next course of action should be !? should i b using only heat or cold !? will it continue to swell and become "greener" so to speak!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
could be a fracture if you are having trouble when the ankle dangles!. Should go to the dr and have that checked!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is probably broken or cracked!. If it is, no amount of cold will make it better!. You should see a doctor!. BTW, heat is only for muscles!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
