Shin Injury?!


Question:

Shin Injury?

I have recently had an injury to my shin while playing soccer. I was sliding to clear the ball and slid into the goalpost. It was raining so i went into the post quite fast. In minutes it swelled into a fairly large bump ( about the size of a basbeall) then in about 4 hours it worked its way back down to the size of a golf ball. I have icing it every other day for about 45 minutes ---(15 on then off then on again) It has been 3 weeks approx. and it is still the same size. It hurts when i jog (medium to hard pace) or sprint. The specific area is very tender and the slightest touches induce pain. I was wondering if I should be worried about the injury. Any answers, remeidies, etc. etc. will be greatly appreciated


Answers:

the swelling hasn't gone down after 3 weeks and you're wondering if you should be worried? pain and swelling that don't go away are signs from the gods that something is messed up. go get it looked at bucko.
