How to treat pain in my ankles and shin?
Patient: I was hit by a baseball on my shin, off the bat to my shin while playing 3rd base, not once but twice in the same game. Its been about a month and there is bruising that spread from the impact and its continuing to spread down to my ankles its very painful should i be worried? Doctor: Cannot say in your particular case but fractures can heal wrong and disrupt normal functioning. Haven't had all that much problems in long bones that stay straight even with fractures.Then, pain can be from various causes. going outward from an injury may imply a (very small) nerve is irritated. This could be permanent. On the other hand low doses of cheap nerve dampers like anti-epileptics or even topical lidocaine are very very effective.
