over a week ago i leg kicked someone and the checked my kick and my shin hit there knee. there wasnt any pain so i kept sparring and rolled after for 2 hours. when i got home my shin was swollen like a baseball.I iced it and the swelling went down. it was still swollen but less than a quarter of the size. things were fine but one week to the day later i lifted weights with my legs and went to work and when i got home my whole leg lower than the knot was bruised down to the heel and my ankle was swollen. i didnt do anything to my leg accept the leg kick and lifting. why would it bruise? also the knot is warm and not really going away. im worried it might be infected .i cant really afford the doctor seeing as i have no insurance. has anyone had any similiar problemns? should i rush to the er or wait it out? any help would be apreciated

Hairline fracture.  Check with a doctor. Better yet, post on the OG.

are you being serious? you think it might be broken?

Take some Vitmain C and you'll be fine. Maybe a Flintstone's chewable multi just to be on the safe sie.

Suck it up and rub some dirt on it.

Try not to abuse it anymore, lay off the leg and go see a doctor. If there is a hairline you could make it worse. swelling is there as a defense mechanism brought on by trauma. If there was swelling there was dmage to what extent only your doc could tell you with xrays and what not.

Only speak Spanish, let them think you are an illegal day laborer and you will be fine. Just point to your leg and say "no bueno" over an over.

disbeliever - Not that I am for scamming ER's or hospital systems, as I work for one, but if your leg is that jacked up the ER has to see you with or without insurance. Whether you pay the bill or not is up to you.



That is correct

Rub dog poo on it and hit it with a brick... Or do the smart thing and listen to jewnior and disbeliever... I would choose option A myself but you might want to use a lifeline and phone a friend to make sure you get the right answer....
