Bang to the shin bone

[Lyndel]

Hi everyone I banged my shin bone nearly 3 weeks ago now. At first I didn't notice much just some local bruising but now the the bruising has gone more or less it is still tender to touch warm to touch and at the end of the day becomes more swollen. I went to the doctors a week ago and he didn't seem too concerned just said keep an eye on it. Just wondering it this is normal to take so long.

I hope your shin is better now. I bruised a bone and had a small internal bleed as a result. That took longer than a break to heal.

Hi just seen your answer. Yes it really takes a long time in healing. The mark from the bruise is still there and it as been 9mths now. It must have been like a hematoma on the bone. Hope you are well
