[|Human|] About 6wks ago I injured my right shin with a hard bump on a grocery cart. All this time there is severe pain, redness and soreness to the area and about 3 inches above and below the initial site. There has not been the usual black, blue, and discoloration that follows a bruise and my doctor wants to performa an ultra sound. It hurts to the touch and is painful when doing nothing at all. Having a sock cover the area causes discomfort and I feel my doctor is not doing enough to remedy the situation.
[|AI|]  Hi, I have studied your cafetiere can be tibial bony contusion. As x-ray may be essential to rule out fracture, so I will advise consulting doctor. As hematoma is there, you need to take rest and use splint or compressive crêpe bandage to reduce swelling. Watch for increase in redness, infection. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma. Do not use hot fomentation or massage you can do ice fomentation. If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
