What's wrong with my shin?

Question

I sparred about a week ago with no padding or protection & I threw a low kick aiming for his thigh, but he blocked it with his knee.. It hurt the h**l out of my shin, but i continued fighting..

Later that night, a lump began to swell up & form, I iced it down & massaged the lump out..

It's still tender & i think bruised.. can't really tell, but when i put the slightest pressure on it, it hurts liek a sting.. Anyone know what's wrong with it? or what can i do to make it feel normal again? the pain is just on the middloe of the shin, slightly toward the outer side of the shin..

Answer 1

with bumps and bruises like that it can take up to a week to feel better. Ice, rest, elevate. See a doctor also.

Answer 2

It's probably just a deep bruise.  Ice is the best thing for it.  

See a doctor if it continues to be tender to the touch for much longer.

Ice for 15 minutes at a time.

Been there before, the shin is a horrible place to get a bruise. Im sure you will be fine. Just remember to rest it, ice it and if the pain dosen't go away or at least get to be less then go see a doctor.
