What to do about a bruised shin?

32-year-old woman3 years ago

Hello! I think I banged my ankle on my shinbone 2 weeks ago. I don't have any bruises but when I put my finger on it I feel a little bump and it's a little painful like a bruise... I'm afraid I have cancer

Hello!

Shins are more sensitive to deep bruising. Pain and the sensation of a bump are normal if you have suffered a trauma (if you have bumped yourself). For now, the best solution is to avoid activities that may increase the pain, and apply ice in a wet towel as needed, maximum 10-15 minutes at a time.

I hope I've put your mind at ease, don't hesitate to ask if you have any other questions!

Even after 2 weeks? How long does it last

I can't give you an exact time frame, but a bone bruise can unfortunately take several weeks to completely heal
