Passing out after hitting shin.... Cause?!
Question: Passing out after hitting shin!.!.!.!. Cause!?
I have done this 2 times within the past year and I'm not sure what can cause this!.
Yesterday while getting into my car I hit my shin and began to feel dizzy and my face started feeling numb then I passed out in the middle of the street!. I can tell i fell pretty hard from the bump on the side of my head!.
I believe I was only passed out for about 1-2 minutes!. And my neighbor came by to check on me!. I was fine right after I woke up!.
I did something similar to this about a year ago and the same thing happened!. I hit my shin pretty hard but it wasn't pain that would normally make someone passout!.
I am in pretty good shape so i wouldn't think its a health problem!.!.!.!. Anyone know what this could be from!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
The only thing that comes to mind is that the tibia is exposed in the front where it was struck!. The bones are lined with a substance that is called periosteum!. This lining is highly innervated with nerves and since there is nothing to cushion the blow it sends a tremendous wave of pain up to the brain!. This might have been too much for you to handle and thereby you passed out!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
