Weird Sports injury help?!
Question: Weird Sports injury help?
Well, I was playing hockey (but it wasn't a real hockey stick...it was plastic..but still very firm and hard), and my friend tried to block the puck with her stick and hit my leg with full force. She hit me somewhere in between my knee and ankle. I got a bruise the next day and it hurt to stand too leg on that leg ( on that particular spot) and to do certain movements. Now, I sometimes feel sharp stings whenever I apply too much pressure on that spot...and I have like this little hard bump where she hit me...also, the bruise is not gone(it's just faded away). It's been like 3 1/2 weeks now. What is this? I was just expecting a bruis out of it..but not a bump..

Well i don't think you did any serious damage. This happened to me once playing soccer. I had forgotten my shin guards and this girl kicked me really hard right on the shin. I could not stand for a little while after it. It was starting bruise within the next couple minutes. Within the next hour i had this huge bump on my shin. Just like you i hurt to touch it and everything. I still have this bump on my bone from it, but not as big. So just ice it, it may take the swelling down.
