i was running downhill and tripped over a wire that was holding these two trees in place. i got a bruise on my shin that swelled up a lot but didn't really turn a color. if i showed it to someone they'd swear they couldn't see it at all until they realized it was swollen.
that was 4 or 5 weeks ago.
the bruise has faded entirely but the area hurts to touch still and even when i lightly brush it against something i get this seering pain, like if someone were to tap it with one finger i would nearly scream it hurts so much.
why hasn't it gone away yet? what should i do about this?
BeFABULOUSxo answered Monday February 4 2008, 12:38 pm: I don't exactly know why it hasn't gone away yet. But it sounds to me like there is something wrong here. So there is no color left in the bruise? That means that any skin damage is healed. I'm thinking that there is something internally wrong. It sounds like it's a hairline fracture. Regardless of what the name of the injury is, you should see a doctor. He/she may be able to prescribe you something to make the swelling/pain lessen.
Goodluck!
Let me know how things work out!! [ BeFABULOUSxo's advice column | Ask BeFABULOUSxo A Question ]
